Comments |
There are two ways of rendering comments to as
. In both
cases the comment is equivalent to one space.
Anything from /*
through the next */
is a comment.
This means you may not nest these comments.
/*
The only way to include a newline ('\n') in a comment
is to use this sort of comment.
*/
/* This sort of comment does not nest. */
Anything from the line comment character to the next newline
is considered a comment and is ignored. The line comment character is
|
on the 680x0 family of processors.
To be compatible with past assemblers, lines that begin with #
have a
special interpretation. Following the #
should be an absolute
expression (see Expressions): the logical line number of the next
line. Then a string (see Strings) is allowed: if present it is a
new logical file name. The rest of the line, if any, should be whitespace.
If the first non-whitespace characters on the line are not numeric,
the line is ignored. (Just like a comment.)
# This is an ordinary comment.
# 42-6 "new_file_name" # New logical file name
# This is logical line # 36.
This feature is deprecated, and may disappear from future versions
of as
.
