.local names ¶This directive, which is available for ELF targets, marks each symbol in
the comma-separated list of names as a local symbol so that it
will not be externally visible. If the symbols do not already exist,
they will be created.
For targets where the .lcomm directive (see .lcomm symbol , length) does not
accept an alignment argument, which is the case for most ELF targets,
the .local directive can be used in combination with .comm
(see .comm symbol , length ) to define aligned local common data.
