I have been trying to get the GASP preprocessor to preprocess
assembly language for the GNU AS assembler but am having great difficulty
1. The assembler does not seem to like ANY comment character(s). The
preprocessor can ignore any (default '!') but can be switched BUT it
does NOT remove them. - I have writtena filter to remove comments so
this is not a major problem.
2. The assembler accepts equates as
.equ SYMBOL, value
but the Preprocessor does not like these it prefers and substitutes
SYMBOL .EQU value
again not a major problem - I can live with that
3. In macros the preprocessor will not accept 'A' in a substitution
parameter but will accept "A" but the assembler will not accept the "A"
put in by the preprocessor.
This is required to run under DOS for programs using djgpp.
I have got GCC263 version which I got from sunsite.ic.ac.uk on 28/11/95
I have all the sources but cannot find the relevant source code for
the preprocessor.
When I found the sources for the earlier version which was .ZIPed in a
separate file I could not build it as I could not find the sources for
all the includes functions & as I found each one it contained another
missing function.
