1 The presence of a ';' on a line indicates the start of a comment that
1 extends to the end of the current line.  If a '#' or '*' appears as the
1 first character of a line, the whole line is treated as a comment.  Note
1 that if a line starts with a '#' character then it can also be a logical
1 line number directive (⇒Comments) or a preprocessor control
1 command (⇒Preprocessing).
1 
1    The '@' character can be used instead of a newline to separate
1 statements.

1    Instruction, register and functional unit names are case-insensitive.
1 'as' requires fully-specified functional unit names, such as '.S1',
1 '.L1X' or '.D1T2', on all instructions using a functional unit.
1 
1    For some instructions, there may be syntactic ambiguity between
1 register or functional unit names and the names of labels or other
1 symbols.  To avoid this, enclose the ambiguous symbol name in
1 parentheses; register and functional unit names may not be enclosed in
1 parentheses.
