--- Comment #1 from Federico Kircheis <federico at kircheis dot it> ---
To give more context on the issue
In my case, the offending comments are even empty; something like
----
#define CPP_PP_CAT_(X, ...) X ## __VA_ARGS__
#define CPP_PP_CAT(X, ...) CPP_PP_CAT_(X, __VA_ARGS__)
int bar(){
int CPP_PP_CAT(a, //
b) = 12;
return ab;
}
----
The main reason for such comments to exists, is to prevent some formatters to
make too long lines.
I do not know how much that practice is used, but I've already seen it in
multiple projects.
With that in mind; if determining if a comment interferes with macros is too
hard, maybe to unconditionally removing empty comments is good enough for most
use-cases.
