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

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

Reid, you're definitely right about escaping the line-break.  That's the 
problem, but is that a feature of the compiler (as Peter said) or is it a 
little mistake in the compiler source?  As I said before, other compilers 
ignore the backslash if it's in a comment (as I believe they should).  Also, 
if it's a feature, shouldn't it be useful?  There is a separate comment 
style (the old style /*text*/) in case you want to comment multiple lines.  
Escape characters shouldn't affect comments.  I think this is just a bug.  A 
small bug, but how should it be handled?

Verne, are you saying your compiler gave a warning because there's code 
after the main() return?  That's fine, it's just a comment.  I would expect 
that.  I use Dev-C++ exclusively for editing and compiling, by the way.
