As in C, the linker considers an integer beginning with `0' to be octal, and an integer beginning with `0x' or `0X' to be hexadecimal. Alternatively the linker accepts suffixes of `h' or `H' for hexadeciaml, `o' or `O' for octal, `b' or `B' for binary and `d' or `D' for decimal. Any integer value without a prefix or a suffix is considered to be decimal.
In addition, you can use the suffixes K and M to scale a
constant by
1024 or 1024*1024
respectively. For example, the following
all refer to the same quantity:
_fourk_1 = 4K;
_fourk_2 = 4096;
_fourk_3 = 0x1000;
_fourk_4 = 10000o;
Note - the K and M suffixes cannot be used in
conjunction with the base suffixes mentioned above.
