<a name="index-preprocessing"></a>
|
|
<p>The <code>as</code> internal preprocessor:
|
|
</p><ul>
|
|
<li> <a name="index-whitespace_002c-removed-by-preprocessor"></a>
|
|
adjusts and removes extra whitespace. It leaves one space or tab before
|
|
the keywords on a line, and turns any other whitespace on the line into
|
|
a single space.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> <a name="index-comments_002c-removed-by-preprocessor"></a>
|
|
removes all comments, replacing them with a single space, or an
|
|
appropriate number of newlines.
|
|
|
|
</li><li> <a name="index-constants_002c-converted-by-preprocessor"></a>
|
|
converts character constants into the appropriate numeric values.
|
|
</li></ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>It does not do macro processing, include file handling, or
|
|
anything else you may get from your C compiler’s preprocessor. You can
|
|
do include file processing with the <code>.include</code> directive
|
|
(see <a href="Include.html#Include"><code>.include</code></a>). You can use the <small>GNU</small> C compiler driver
|
|
to get other “CPP” style preprocessing by giving the input file a
|
|
‘<samp>.S</samp>’ suffix. See <a href="../gcc info/Overall-Options.html#Overall-Options">Options Controlling the Kind of
|
|
Output</a> in <cite>Using GNU CC</cite>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Excess whitespace, comments, and character constants
|
|
cannot be used in the portions of the input text that are not
|
|
preprocessed.

<a name="index-_0023NO_005fAPP"></a>
|
|
<a name="index-_0023APP"></a>
|
|
<p>If the first line of an input file is <code>#NO_APP</code> or if you use the
|
|
‘<samp>-f</samp>’ option, whitespace and comments are not removed from the input file.
|
|
Within an input file, you can ask for whitespace and comment removal in
|
|
specific portions of the by putting a line that says <code>#APP</code> before the
|
|
text that may contain whitespace or comments, and putting a line that says
|
|
<code>#NO_APP</code> after this text. This feature is mainly intend to support
|
|
<code>asm</code> statements in compilers whose output is otherwise free of comments
|
|
and whitespace.
