I'm coming across an irritating cpp feature trying to port a large body of foreign code; namely: #if 0 This is pointless text with one of ' in it. #endif Despite the #if-fing out, the quote is still parsed. Unfortunately, this conflicts with a substantial body of #if'd documentation, which contains (you guessed it) more comment delimiters. The code obviously builds OK on other gcc-wielding platforms; is there something funny about our preprocessor? -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
