Hello to everyone! And great respect to Privalov!
Some time ago i moved from masm to fasm and felt a great enjoyment). I love it - FASM!
i found some strange behaviour of such code

Code:

directory       RT_DIALOG, dialogs,\
                RT_GROUP_ICON, group_icons,\
;some comment
                RT_ICON, icons

is it normal? i think fasm should skip comments totally and not report an error...?
Great Respect to Creator!

yes, it was already discussed... few times. line containing only comment is equivalent to empty line, not no line. i believe there was some problem with replacing it with no line...

so you must preped comment with "\"

privalov: this surely belong to FAQ we discussed too...
