Description
Strangely enough, the most basic thing, C style comments, do not work under the YASM gas mode. I understand the GCC outputs assembly code that does not have comments, but when I am working with assembly language files, I need them. I was surprised to learn that C style // comments generate the syntax error: "label or instruction expected at start of line". In the mean time, at least I can use the hash (#) as a comment, or I can run the code through 'cpp' to strip them, but I really think YASM should support these natively.

Are one line comments supposed to work?
They work in GAS
