Hello!

I am working on a project (a library) for Windows Mobile 5 and I really need to optimise a function using assembly language for ARM.

I wrote an .asm file where I placed the assembly code for my function. I managed to compile that file (using a custom build command line - help found here: http://blogs.msdn.com/jeffabraham/archive/2005/03/31/404283.aspx) and to link the resulted obj to the library. I run in debug mode a test application that used my library. I managed to debug my assembly code using "Disassembly" window. It is very difficult to understand the optimised code and to debug it; this is why I commented the code very well. Unfortunately I can not see any of my comments in "Disassembly" window and it is very difficult in this case to find the bugs.

Is there a possibility to see all my comments when I debug in assembly code?

Here is the custom build command line used to compile the .asm file:

armasm -o "Windows Mobile 5.0 Pocket PC SDK (ARMV4I)\Debug\MyAsmFile.obj"

I am using Windows XP PRO, Visual Studio 2005 (Visual C++).

Thank you in advance!

Best regards,
Cornel Gligan
