Changing GAS for ARM to accept semicolon as a comment character ?

[Nick Clifton]

Hi Guys,

  GAS for the ARM currently supports ';' as a line separator character
  and '@' as a line comment character.  Would anyone object to my
  changing this so that ';' was also a line comment character and
  dropping the support for multiple instructions on a single line ?
  (Or else choosing a different character for a line separator).

  The reason is for compatibility with ARM's assembler which uses ';'
  as the comment character.  (It would be nice to drop '@' as a
  comment character since this is used in ELF .section directives, but
  I suspect that there is far too much ARM assembly code out there for
  this to be feasible).

Cheers
