someone asked how to place multiline comment from point up to end of file

Code:

db 0 ; output ends here without error
We could place here and after anything we want.
mov eax,edx
include '1.asm'
he he
And compilation will be succesful!

Code:

;We could ever comment it
but effect on unclosable multiline comment will remains.

Code:

db 0and even that will work

Tomasz, can you describe internal nature of that.
Is it feature or bug? I like it.

sintactically correctbut "" it is very special symbol

fasm traditionally respects the EOF character defined by MS-DOS/Windows.

It's in PREPROCE.INC:

Code:

      next_line:
        cmp     byte [esi-1],0
        je      file_end
        cmp     byte [esi-1],1Ah
        jne     preprocess_source
      file_end:

Either 0x00 or 0x1a will signal the end of the file.
