Literal pools
Literals, collected into pools by the assembler,
are assembled as part of the executable control section to which the
pools belong. The pools are built when an LTORG instruction is processed.
If no LTORG instruction is specified, a literal pool containing
all the literals used in the whole source module is assembled at one
of:
- The end of the first control section.
- The end of the
B_TEXT
class belonging to the first section.
Independently Addressed Segments: If any control section is divided into independently addressed segments, an LTORG instruction should be specified at the end of each segment to create a separate literal pool for that segment.
