AS30 and AS79
Precautions

Please take note of the following problem in using assemblers AS30 for the M16C/60 and M16C/20 series and AS79 for the 7900 series of microcomputers.


Versions Concerned
All the versions of AS30 and AS79 are concerned with this problem. Note that, in addition, assemblers AS30 and AS79 included respectively with compiler NC30WA for the M16C/60 and M16C/20 series and with compiler NC79WA for the 7900 series are also concerned.

Problem
If you place whitespaces such as blank spaces before and after a comma that delimits character strings when describing the attribute of a section and using assembler directive ".ALIGN" in a description of assembler directive ".section", the absolute lister may be launched to generate illegally formatted codes and cause the processing to be interrupted.
[Example]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   .section   program , coee
                    ~~~~~ Blank spaces are placed before and after a comma
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Workaround
Delete intervening spaces existing before and after the comma.
[Example]
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
   .section   program,coee
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
