Is there any way to get the A166 compiler to recognise C block style comments (i.e. /**/)in an ASM file? It would make life a lot easier for our source control software it it was.
Well, the latest A51 manual says, "The Ax51 macro assembler has a standard C macro preprocessor that is almost identical with the macro preprocessors in the Cx51 compiler." It's not entirely clear whether this means that Ax51 has a complete 'C' preprocessor, or just the macro processing part of it; if it has a complete 'C' preprocessor, this should handle 'C' comments. Check the A166 manual. What your problem with the source control software? Could you put your 'C'-style comments into Assembler comments? eg,
