Description
Comment processing in the CSgxcomp.c module does not operate correctly. Marked as trivial as there are few comments in the dictionary as of now.
Note:
See TracTickets
for help on using tickets.
Corrected at revision 2711.
It turns out that all compilers were originally written to allow '#' characters in source and description data by either escaping them with a preceding backslash or by coding two consecutive '#' characters. However, none of the compilers actually have code to replace the escape sequence with the real thing after the completion of comment detection. To avoid the complications with regard to an appended comment which begins with a "##" sequence I corrected this ticket by taking out the double # aspect, and adding code to remove the backslash escape character appropriately.
