[9fans] 8c buglet?

[Petr Cejchan]

Hi,
I encountered this behavior of 8c with // comments:

// I don't know why its a char *, maybe it should be a void *?
     cpp: string too long (or sthg like that...)
/* I don't know why its a char *, maybe it should be a void *? */
     cpp: OK


Cheers,
++pac.

I thought I'd fixed that.  I guess I didn't spend as much time on //
as I did on /* */ or things are out of sync.

I'll look into it when I get a chance.

Reminds me of Unix's (Reiser) cpp, which had a buffer-
boundary bug such that *occasionally* (maybe 1 time in 200)
a termination */ was not properly detected ans so extra
code was in effect "commented out" during compilation.
We fixed that in the BRL version(s) of Unix, but it
may still have been wrong in some releases of Unix
System V.  (I'd have to check and it doesn't seem worth
doing.)

I meant, 1 time in 2000; must have been a sticky 0 key.

A maze of twisty passages, all not quite right.

Yeah, that had something to do with why it was gnarly.
Trying to accomplish everything in a sequential operation
without intermediate buffering..
