Re: [Dev-C++] Comment Delimiters

[Damien . <g_...@ho...>]

Guys, How exactly does '#if  0' ...#endif work?  I assumed that the 
preprocessor would skip the statements until it reached the #endif.  
However, when I tried to compile the code(with gcc 3.2.2)  below , i get a 
"missing terminator character ' error" .  It seems as though the code inside 
of an #if  0...#endif statement must be C/C++ accurate. It is easy fixed 
with a /*... */ .Care to elaborate....?
/* IfZero.c */
#include <stdio.h>
int main(void)
{
#if 0
This line should not be worried about. I'm quite sure it will *not* be  
included.
#endif
printf("...");
return 0;
}

Agreed. #if 0 ..#endif is a great way of doing it.
