[Cpptool-develop] working on linux port

[Sven R. <rei...@ma...>]

Folks,

I'm working on the linux port. So far, the cppunit as included in our 
package doesn't compile; I think a few files are missing.

About the parsing: As I said, I wrote a few tests for NonSemanticBlanker 
(which I will commit after the linux port works), and found another 
problem. It is about comments in strings or vice versa. The following will 
not parse correctly:

// use " to delimit strings
const char* text = "a string";

nor does the following:

const char* beginCComment = "/*";
const char* beginOneLineComment = "//";


These examples are not as exotic as they appear; I have certainly written 
programs in the past which print out "//". It looks like you can't 
separate blanking comments and blanking strings. (I would try and fix it 
myself, but I want to have it compile first.)

Cheers,
Sven.
