Up: Syntax of i960
The presence of a `#' on a line indicates the start of a comment that extends to the end of the current 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 can also be a logical line number directive (see Comments) or a preprocessor control command (see Preprocessing).
The `;' character can be used to separate statements on the same line.
