Just as an exercise for myself, I am attempting to write an assembler for an 
old 8-bit microprocessor. The assembler will be written in C.

I am at a loss to figure out how to handle local labels.  My understanding 
is:  A local label in this assembly language is one that begins with a "$" 
(dollar sign).  Such labels only have the scope of between two non-local 
labels. So I can't just toss them into the symbol table with the other 
labels, unless there is some special processing here.

Can anyone suggest how I might handle local labels, or point me to some 
explanation on the internet of how to do this???
