I was integrating a CPU timer that's written in assembly today and was pretty surprised to notice that visual assist doesn't support syntax coloring for inline assembly.
The main problems are: - ASM comments started wit ';' are not recognized as comments - Everything after an inline __asm {} is deemed as false since a syntax error occured earlier.
Basically my code looks like a rainbow puked all over it lol
Just wondering why it isn't implemented, maybe there are some restrictions by visual studio that prevent you from doing that?
Very few of our users seem to use inline assembly code, it virtually never comes up in support enquires, so I suspect the feature was never added to VA, since we only have limited resorces.
I have put in a feature request to improve the syntax highlighting here, or at the very least not to do any syntax highlighting at all for inline assembler:
