Assembly Include/Header File?

[Altera_Forum]

Hello all, 

 I am currently working on an assembly design that will require the equivalent of a .h file in which I can# define certain constants used in the design. I am aware of doing this in c of course, but not assembly. Is there any way I can do this outside of the .data section in my .s file?   My design is generic and I would hate to have to hard code these values in my code.   Thanks, Matt

The convention with GCC is to use .S (upper case) for assembler files that need to be pre-processed and .s (lower case) for files that do not.

Am i able to include .c files here, or# define constants in here directly?   Thanks

Please let me know if anything I have stated is invalid.  I will want to change my file extension to .S. In this file, i will# include a header.h file that will contain my# defines for whatever constants I want. When I go to build, The GCC compiler will preprocess my request to include the header.h file.
