Problem with asm-mode-hook

Problem with asm-mode-hook

[Anders K.]

I'm trying to change the assembler mode comment character from ; to #, 
so I put this at the end of ~/.emacs:

(defun my-asm-mode-hook ()
   (setq asm-comment-char ?#))
(add-hook 'asm-mode-hook 'my-asm-mode-hook)

Unfortunately, the change only takes effect starting with the second 
assembly file I open. Anyone know why? (I have a similar 
c-mode-common-hook that works perfectly.)

I've successfully customized this variable to the # char.  You may
want to try M-x customize-variable RET asm-comment-char RET.  Note,
for this to work, asm mode has to be loaded already.

Note also that asm-mode doesn't insert the # (comment char) into text
fields, i.e. quotes sucha as " " and ' '.

  http://myrkraverk.afraid.org/~myrkraverk/masp-mode.el

will do that for you, and I believe the default comment char is #, but
I don't remember that actaully.  Otherwise it's basically the same as
asm-mode.  If you don't mind any extra syntax highlight for my
preprocessor.


Hope this helps,

Johann

Thanks! I didn't install it, but looking at the file, I figured out that 
I needed to install an asm-mode-set-comment-hook, not an asm-mode-hook. 
It works now.
