Using ' inside // and /* */ comments embedded in macro calls causes compilation errors. Comments avoiding using ' do not. This was discovered by using "aren't" in a comment in such a situation.
Numbered Steps to Reproduce Problem:
Compile the following code.
Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem:
#define LIST_OPERATION(X) doThing(X)
/atom/foo
var/list/someList
/atom/foo/New()
someList = LIST_OPERATION(list(
"A", // test
"B", // test '
"C", /* test */
"D", /* test ' */
))
proc/doThing(var/list/Y)
for(var/Z in Y)
Z++
Expected Results:
Code to compile.
Actual Results:
error: unterminated text (expecting ')
error: missing ' in macro call
For each line this occurs.
Does the problem occur:
Every time? Or how often?
In other games?
In other user accounts?
On other computers?
Every time on version 512.1442.
When does the problem NOT occur?
Never on version 512.1442.
Did the problem NOT occur in any earlier versions? If so, what was the last version that worked? (Visit http://www.byond.com/download/build to download old versions for testing.)
Unsure.
Workarounds:
Avoid using ' in any comment embedded inside macro calls. Using doThing() directly also works.
