PROC Assembler Statement

Arguments

<[>name<]> PROC type

Description

The PROC statement defines a procedure.

Where:

name	specifies the name of the procedure.
PROC	specifies that the procedure is a standard procedure function.
type	specifies the instruction coding. A type of CODE16 or THUMB specifies Thumb mode instructions. A type of CODE32 or ARM specifies ARM mode instructions. The assembler uses the procedure type to encode instructions.

Procedures defined with the PROC statement must be terminated by the ENDP statement.

Note

Unlike procedures and functions created in high-level languages (like C and C++), identifier scope in assembly language is module-wide. For this reason, identifiers used in assembly procedures must be unique.
The assembler does not verify whether or not a return instruction was used in a procedure. This is the responsibility of the programmer.
