The question is whether the comment or the line continuation takes
precedence. I've tried this piece of code in both Microsoft VC++ and
Borland C++ 4.52 and their behavior is the same as ours i.e. all three
lines are commented and nothing is #define'd.
However, CVI's syntax coloring doesn't recognize this case, unlike
VC's, and so it appears as if the second and third line will be read
by the preprocessor. VC also issues warnings about line continuations
in single-line comments.
While we won't change the current behavior to avoid compatibility
problems, I'll add suggestions to fix these two items (syntax
coloring, warnings).
