I think
.skip bytes, fill
but not sure what assemblers do support that, not sure it is that
common to have long sequences of non-zero identical bytes and
for '\0's we were already splitting the string into separate directives,
while say for
.string
"fooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
we aren't.
The intent of this patch was just to get some common savings without
sacrifying readability too much.
