C++ style comments by Herring (2.00 / 0) #1 Mon Jan 29, 2007 at 09:33:40 AM EST

In no other instance in C or C++ is a lf/cr meaningful in any way (except as whitespace). I think. Insist on use of /* */ (do your worst, auto-format) to annoy the fuck out of people.

Who the hell uses a word-wrapping editor for code anyway? Are they insane?

Or am I remembering wrong?
Or perhaps being a pedantist?

: Problem with /* */ by squigs (2.00 / 0) #4 Mon Jan 29, 2007 at 11:35:51 AM EST

Comments are part of the preprocessorwhich uses lf/cr to terminate most expressions. I rather wish it wouldn't since this makes macros rather more ugly than I'd like.
It's one of the few parts of C notation that can't be nested (functions being the only other example I know). Nested comments would often be useful.

: macros by ucblockhead (2.00 / 0) #5 Mon Jan 29, 2007 at 11:43:53 AM EST

#define is another instance where lf/cr is meaningful.
I wonder if the editor is vi, which visually wraps code. Not that I've ever known anyone make that particular error with it.

The syntax highlighting didn't tip you off?

Since when does Notepad highlight´? by BadDoggie (2.00 / 0) #6 Mon Jan 29, 2007 at 11:51:20 AM EST

Is that something new in Vista?

No one actually started looking into the application code as the possible source of the error until a couple weeks ago, and the guys who did it are command line freaks. None of that girly-man gooey shit.

woof.
