Comments

There are several ways to specify comments:

  1. Use either type of C-style comment, which can start in any column: // This is a comment. or /* This is a comment. */
  2. Start the comment with an asterisk (*) in the first column of the line.
    Note: The asterisk (*) must be the first character of the line for it to specify a comment. The asterisk has other meanings if it occurs elsewhere in a line.
  3. Clear the Allow space in operand field checkbox of the Assembler settings panel. Subsequently, if you type a space in an operand field, all the remaining text of the line is a comment.
  4. Anything following a # character is considered to be a comment. For example, st r3,0(r4) # Store total
  5. Anything following a ; character is considered to be a comment, except in GNU compatibility mode, where ; is a statement separator.
