Cleanning asm files

[guga]

The eye is forced to jump from extreme left to extreme right, every now and then losing the line etc... a nightmare for me, and yet there are many coders who seem to love this style 8)

Me too. It is extremely hard to follow. But, it has worst :icon_mrgreen: Try reading a source with 1 Mb containing everything at the beginning of the line without paragraphs, such as (including comments):

Code Select Expand


Main:
xor eax eax
cmp eax 5
je L5>
shl eax 3
.....


Easy for a few lines, but on big sources..OUCH ! :icon_mrgreen:

When I began to program, we had no computer, we had to write on a paper and respect the columns. Cobol language... That is certainly for this reason... Later i program in fortran, same thing... remember format, comments, varialbles beguinning by I...

If you want I have a new version without the bug found in scancode.asm from masm32 examples.

Binary
Source & Binary

You can find a line like this one :

include\masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

It is not an error the syntax is accepted by Masm
