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

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

Well, Reid, that sounds like good enough evidence.  I'm not positive on what 
the "other" compiler is, but I think it is Visual C++.  At any rate, thanks 
for clearing that up.  In my opinion, it shouldn't be read by the compiler 
because the preprocessor should take out all commented text.  Maybe I've 
just never heard of extending a one-line comment and this is how it's done.  
I didn't want Dev-C++ to be the odd one out if more compilers ignored it 
(since I only use Dev-C++).  I now doubt that it'll ever be a big enough 
problem unless this rarely-used feature to overlook backslashes at the end 
of comments in a (most likely) single compiler is used in popular free 
source.  I don't see that happening more than where I got it from.  Thanks 
for your help, Reid.
