Description Petr Nejedly 2001-05-31 13:04:44 UTC 
when I have a code reading:
#define SOME_CONST value    /* multiline explanation
                               of the meaning of the constant */

it will color the ending "*/" as error nad the whole second line
is not considered a comment
Comment 1 Jan Lahoda 2001-05-31 19:16:45 UTC 
(this bug is about build: "dev-1".)
So, according to:
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-2.95.3/cpp_1.html#SEC1
this code:
#define X /*
foo
bar
*/ x
has following sense:
define macro "X" with content " x".
I corrected syntax highlighting to reflect this meaning.
I also found that continuing preprocessor directives were not handled properly -
I fix it also.

Fixed in:
/cvs/cpplite/src/org/netbeans/modules/cpplite/syntax/CPPSyntax.java in revision
1.3

It will be in build "dev-2".
