I found a bug regarding inline comments. When adding an inline comment # after
an = assignment statement, if there is some space before the #,
compilation fails.
If a makefile contains the following statements:
TARGET = output
This line works fine.
TARGET = output # test
This line reports an error.
Suggested fix:
read.c remove_comments():
static void
remove_comments (char *line)
{
if (line)
{
char *comment = find_map_unquote (line,
MAP_COMMENT|MAP_VARIABLE);
if (comment)
{
//char b = 0;
*comment = '\0'; /* Cut off the
line at the #. */
while (comment != line)
{
if (--comment == line)
break;
if (*comment == ' ' ||
*comment == '\t') // Remove ' ' and '\t' before comment.
{
//
if (!b)
// {
//
printf("remove_comments() |%s|\n", line);
//
b = 1;
// }
*comment
= '\0';
}
else
break;
}
}
}
}
Thanks,
