            Bug ID: 3392663
           Summary: Enhancement request: Warning for trailing backslash
                    line continuation in comments
           Product: NASM
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: OPEN
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Assembler
          Assignee: nobody at nasm.us
          Reporter: pushbx at ulukai.org

     Obtained from: Other (please explain)

I propose adding a warning, default on, for when a line ends in a backslash
that indicates line continuation, but the line is already in
comment-until-end-of-line mode. This has cropped up occasionally in my own work
and on stackoverflow.com and generally, if not always, indicates a user error
and is not intended.
