Syntax colour of ASM keywords has no effect

[uwekel]

Hi,

when i setup the syntax highlight color for ASM keywords, it has no effect. They are always rendered white (on black background).

Best regards
Uwe

Seems to work correctly here, can anybody else confirm ?

Using inline asm with ! color is correct
checking highlight asm keywords in compiler options and using EnableAsm color is correct

Hi! I have forgotten to set the option "Enable inline ASM syntax coloring" in the compiler options dialog Why the hell this option is placed a second time there? There is already a checkbox in the global preferences dialog left beside ASM keywords color!

[Fred]

Because it depends of your source code/project. You don't want it globally enabled.

[uwekel]

Therefore the global option checkbox should be removed. At the moment it works only if you set both checkboxes.

[Fred]

It's not the same: the checkbox before the ASM color is here to be able to turn it off completely, like any other color token.

Thank you, Fred. IMHO i cannot imagine that someone want to use syntax highlighting in one but not in another project

If you don't use asm, you can use asm keywords like "test", "call" etc which are common enough to be used. Having a coloring which move them in uppercase when you don't use asm at all isn't a good idea. And the asm keyword are dependant of the processor.
