  17. There seems to be a bit of a problem with immediate constants in assembler
  18. files that have to go through CPP.  As far as I can tell, gas only accepts
  19. '#' as the leadin for an immediate constant, and cpp doesn't like that
  20. much - it complains about an invalid #directive.  
  21.  
  22. Am I overlooking something obvious?  I was rather hoping to be able to use
  23. '$' to introduce an immediate constant, which seems to work in a
  24. particular set of circumstances but not often.
