Subject: warning: multi-line comment (why?)
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 15:53:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20000917185453.A14829@mediaone.net> (raw)

Hi,

I am running:
gcc version 2.96 20000917 (experimental) 

under x86 Redhat Linux.  I obtained the snapshot from Codesourcery.

If I have the following code:
====================================================================
//  Some comment
//  \
//  Some more comment
 
int main(int, char **) { return 0; }       
====================================================================

compiling with g++ will yield the following warning:
x.cc:2:2: warning: multi-line comment 

What is the point of this warning?  Shouldn't the preprocessor
just ignore everything between the // and the end-of-line?

Thanks.
