Since 6.10, there is no syntax highlighting of comments in ASM in the IDE anymore.

PB 6.02 LTS: Comments are highlighted correctly.


PB 6.10 Beta 1: All is in ASM colors .


Edit: Ouch, it is probably since 6.03

It was removed because we can't detect if it's asm or C code, and ; is valid in C

But the compiler has the option "enable inline ASM syntax coloring".
Why should I enable ASM coloring, when I use C-code?

So you can fix the bug using the "old" syntax highlighting for ASM and comments when it is enabled and switch it off if not.

But doesn't the leading "!" mean the entire line is ASM?

It means that the entire line is ASM when using the ASM backend, and it means that the entire line is C when using the C backend.

Ohhh.

Doesn't the ide know which is set up? Or, can't it be a setting?

The compiler choice should determine the code highlighting flag. But it's always easier said than done.
