as: TIC6X Syntax
9.45.2 TIC6X Syntax
-------------------
The presence of a ';' on a line indicates the start of a comment that
extends to the end of the current line. If a '#' or '*' appears as the
first character of a line, the whole line is treated as a comment. Note
that if a line starts with a '#' character then it can also be a logical
line number directive (Comments) or a preprocessor control
command (Preprocessing).
The '@' character can be used instead of a newline to separate
statements.
Instruction, register and functional unit names are case-insensitive.
'as' requires fully-specified functional unit names, such as '.S1',
'.L1X' or '.D1T2', on all instructions using a functional unit.
For some instructions, there may be syntactic ambiguity between
register or functional unit names and the names of labels or other
symbols. To avoid this, enclose the ambiguous symbol name in
parentheses; register and functional unit names may not be enclosed in
parentheses.
