Comments

There are several ways to specify comments:

• Use either type of C-style comment, which can start in any column:

  // This is a comment.

  /* This is a comment. */

• Start the comment with an asterisk ( *) in the first column of the line. Alternate comment specifiers, for compatibility with other assemblers, are #, .*, and --.
  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.
• Use a processor-specific comment character anywhere on the line (the processor-specific chapter of this document explains whether such a character exists for your target processor). A 68K/Coldfire example is:

  move.l d0,d1 ;This is a comment

  A PowerPC example is;

  mr r1,r0 #This is a comment

  Note: Gnu compatibility mode may involve a different comment character, and may involve a different meaning for the ; character.
• 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.
