[9fans] C compiler bug?

[Richard Miller]

Or misunderstanding?

term% cat t.c
#define STRING "//foo"

main()
{
	print(STRING);
}
term% 8c t.c
t.c:6 newline in string
t.c:6 syntax error, last name: "<string>"
term%

Looks like a bug to me, but `8c -p t.c' will work around it.

	// abc'ed

construct.  I seem to recall brucee commenting on it, is that fixed
yet?

I may be out of sync, although I wouldn't have raised the issue
without some motivation.  I do remember you suggesting that a solution
existed.

Sorry if it's a red herring.
