| (trusted) compiler. ‘<samp><span class="samp">-f</span></samp>’ stops the assembler from doing whitespace |
| and comment preprocessing on |
| the input file(s) before assembling them. See <a href="Preprocessing.html#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>. |

| <blockquote> |
| <em>Warning:</em> if you use ‘<samp><span class="samp">-f</span></samp>’ when the files actually need to be |
| preprocessed (if they contain comments, for example), <samp><span class="command">as</span></samp> does |
| not work correctly. |
