</div></div>Unfortunately not: in the first there is one statement formed by two<br>
"out dx, ax", in the second and the third the text after semicolon is<br>
ignored.<br>
<br>
So I'd say that the rules outside {} are:<br>
<br>
1) a semicolon in the same line of an __asm is assumed to begin a<br>
comment ending at end of line<br>
2) a newline ends an asm statement<br>
3) an __asm begins a new asm instruction<br>
<br>
Inside {} are:<br>
<br>
1) a semicolon is assumed to begin a comment ending at end of line (this<br>
means it can eat also a '}')<br>
2) a newline ends an asm instruction<br>
3) an __asm begins a new asm instruction<br>

<div><br></div><div>One final question, what does MSVC make of this:</div><div><br></div><div> __asm out dx, ax ; this comment isn't tokenizable</div><div><br></div><div>If it accepts it, we may have to handle __asm in the lexer.</div>
