9.10.2.3 Special Characters
...........................
A semicolon (';') can be used anywhere on a line to start a comment that
extends to the end of the line.
If a '#' appears as the first character of a line, the whole line is
treated as a comment, but in this case the line could also be a logical
line number directive (Comments) or a preprocessor control
command (Preprocessing).
Sub-instructions may be executed in order, in reverse-order, or in
parallel. Instructions listed in the standard one-per-line format will
be executed sequentially. To specify the executing order, use the
following symbols:
'->'
Sequential with instruction on the left first.
'<-'
Sequential with instruction on the right first.
'||'
Parallel
The D10V syntax allows either one instruction per line, one
instruction per line with the execution symbol, or two instructions per
line. For example
'abs a1 -> abs r0'
Execute these sequentially. The instruction on the right is in the
right container and is executed second.
'abs r0 <- abs a1'
Execute these reverse-sequentially. The instruction on the right
is in the right container, and is executed first.
'ld2w r2,@r8+ || mac a0,r0,r7'
Execute these in parallel.
'ld2w r2,@r8+ ||'
'mac a0,r0,r7'
Two-line format. Execute these in parallel.
'ld2w r2,@r8+'
'mac a0,r0,r7'
Two-line format. Execute these sequentially. Assembler will put
them in the proper containers.
'ld2w r2,@r8+ ->'
'mac a0,r0,r7'
Two-line format. Execute these sequentially. Same as above but
second instruction will always go into right container.
Since '$' has no special meaning, you may use it in symbol names.
