9.3.2.1 Special Characters
..........................
'%'
A register name can optionally be prefixed by a '%' character. So
register '%r0' is equivalent to 'r0' in the assembly code.
'#'
The presence of a '#' character within a line (but not at the start
of a line) indicates the start of a comment that extends to the end
of the current line.
_Note:_ if a line starts with a '#' character then it can also be a
logical line number directive (Comments) or a preprocessor
control command (Preprocessing).
'@'
Prefixing an operand with an '@' specifies that the operand is a
symbol and not a register. This is how the assembler disambiguates
the use of an ARC register name as a symbol. So the instruction
mov r0, @r0
moves the address of symbol 'r0' into register 'r0'.
'`'
The '`' (backtick) character is used to separate statements on a
single line.
'-'
Used as a separator to obtain a sequence of commands from a C
preprocessor macro.
