            Bug ID: 29931
           Summary: Comments should not respect line continuation
           Product: gdb
           Version: 12.1
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdb
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org
          Reporter: development at efficientek dot com
  Target Milestone: ---

The following script does nothing (in 12.1), but I think most end-users wou=
ld
find this unexpected (as do I).

# =3D=3D=3D begin =3D=3D=3D

# with set width 0 -- \
printf "This does not execute"

# =3D=3D=3D end =3D=3D=3D

Its expected that nothing in the line of a comment can affect the running of
the script. Respecting line continuations violates this. This is unlike bas=
h,
sh, and python scripts, which also use '#' as comments and which do not res=
pect
line continuations in comments.
