that is not comments, that is "explanations".
If anyone need a comment like mov b,#64h ; Mply by 100 mul ab they should not even attempt to look at this. Why not? Use of comment is to explain... Erik Malund said:
It is quite common to call things like the above "comments" they are not. Yes they are. The comment is for that perticular instruction only. We usually write code as follows ----------------------------------------------------------- Label---Mnemonic---Opcode---Operand---Comment ----------------------------------------------------------- Here the comment is the explanation for that perticular instruction.

A comment explain what the routoine does and why, not how the instructions work.
Well not necessary always (not atleast in this case, as it is reverse engineering. And the one who is doing it does not know what the whole code is doing and thats why reverse engineering!) By reading all the explanations one can come to know what the whole routine is going to do. And yes, it is better to write a big comment for the whole routine as what it is going to do at the starting of routine. Erik Malund said:

An explanation like this is doing the same thing for each instruction level, which is precisely telling every reader how the routine is going to achieve the given task. The comment for the whole routine may confuse some times... Regards Sarang |
