Editing X86 assembly language (section)

=== Reserved words ===
In most x86 assembly languages, the [[reserved word]]s consist of two parts: mnemonics that translate to opcodes, and directives (or "pseudo-ops") that access features in the assembler program beyond the simple translation of opcodes. For a list of the former part, see [[x86 instruction listings]]. The latter part is highly assembler-dependent, with no such thing as a standard among Intel-syntax assemblers.<ref>{{cite web |title=NASM - The Netwide Assembler |url=https://www.nasm.us/xdoc/2.13/html/nasmdoc6.html |website=www.nasm.us}}</ref> AT&T-syntax assemblers share a common way of naming directives (all directives starts with a dot, like <code>.ascii</code>),<ref>{{cite web |title=Statements (Using as) |url=https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Statements.html |website=sourceware.org}}</ref> and a number of basic directives such as <code>.ascii</code> and <code>.string</code> are broadly supported.<ref>{{cite web |title=Pseudo Ops (Using as) ::  Assembler Directives |url=https://sourceware.org/binutils/docs/as/Pseudo-Ops.html |website=sourceware.org}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=Assembler Directives - x86 Assembly Language Reference Manual |url=https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37838_01/html/E61064/eoiyg.html |website=docs.oracle.com}}</ref>
