Re: [Dev-C++] Dev-C++ Bug? Using backslash within comments

[Jonathan D. <gri...@ho...>]

Here's an example program, though if you'd like to see the compiled program 
I found it on, check out 
http://www.maybe-phil.net/websites/no-skill/jnrdev/en/jnrdev3/

That program is based on SDL, so if you're not into that, just use this one:
-----------------

#include <stdio.h>
#include <iostream>

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  int y;
  int x = 200;
  //  let's cause a problem with backslash \
  y =  x*55;
  printf("%d\n",y);
  system("PAUSE");

  printf("\n");

  //  now without it
  y =  x*55;
  printf("%d\n",y);
  system("PAUSE");
  return 0;

  //  shouldn't the compiler ignore everything after these C++ style 
comments?
}


------------------
That about shows it.  I know it's a little bother and I'm not surprised it 
hasn't come up before, but I just wanted to help in case someone else gets 
stuck.  Of course, it's only a problem with the C++ style comments.
