Great for someone like me who likes to write a lot of code then test, instead of testing part by part :)

Favorite thing in MASM? In my opinion, the powerfull macro engine.

Simply the fact that it exists... :)

As much as i prefer assembly...i do miss /* */. Don't suppose i can do that in a macro can i?

I've always liked the fact that they don't use animal testing.

I know, i always thought it was too ugly :( and the syntax highlighter in npp doesn't like it. Ah well...guess i care a little too much about the aesthetics of my code eh ;)

$_ TEXTEQU @CatStr( @CatStr(<COMM>, <ENT>), < $_> )
$_ This is commented out _$
$_
Since the COMMENT directive will only recognize the first
character, this is also a valid ending -> $


I use @CatStr so it doesn't accidentally comment out the definition. That might make things a little more comfortable for ya.

I'm not sure I understand what you're showing me... Sorry :(

We have them in GoAsm, as well as 0x3FCE0 for hex notation. It does make the code look nice and clean, I never did like the comment thingy either.

I agree  :bg

Funny.  I always though /* */ was the worst thing I could imagine for comments.  To each his own.

I never understood the whole 0x hex thing...where the hell did that come from. The h makes much more sense to me. I also miss | for logical or, having "or" can be quite confusing for a n00b: inline opcodes, lol. Guess this is what i get for using a closed-source assembler.
