11.2 Generation of Directives from the Symbol Table
The symbol table is used to generate directives. Thus if A is entered in the symbol table with class equal to variable, and attribute type equal to integer, then the directive which allocates space for an integer is generated.
Example 1 shows directives for integers for a number of machines.
