          Issue ID: 13301
           Summary: Inline ASM documentation does not allow string
                    literals
           Product: D
           Version: D2
          Hardware: All

            Status: NEW
          Keywords: iasm, spec
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1

An example on the inline ASM page has the following line of code:

db "abc";      // insert bytes 0x61, 0x62, and 0x63

The grammar for inline ASM does not say that string literals are legal primary
expressions.

AsmPrimaryExp:
    IntegerLiteral
    FloatLiteral
    __LOCAL_SIZE
    $
    Register
    Register64
    DotIdentifier
