Title: Issue with block comment scopes
Post by: perento on May 17, 2012, 09:28:45 pm

I hope here is the place to post this, if not sorry.

Block comment scopes doesnt work like the normal scopes for example () or {}
If i have,

Code

/* stuff */

but then i add another block of comment that i want the 'stuff' comment to be inside the new one, like this

Code

/* <- start of top scope
...
/* stuff */ // <- top scope ends here
this area remain un-comented */ // <- usualy scopes should end here

The other type of scopes dont work like so?

Neither C nor C++ support nested comments.

If you want to discuss why the C and C++ languages are the way they are, this is not the place to do it. Try stackoverflow, or comp.lang.c++.

Thanks and sorry!
If C++ language gets updates, does those updates will be added in Code::Blocks? Or the IDE just interact with the current state of the language?

Re-read the link again and click on the compiler and linker links...
