--- Comment #49 from GoWhoopee at yahoo dot com --- I've read all the comments and all those on linked forums and I have no idea how you struggle with this! If a compiler changes backslash space into backslash newline and consequently deletes the newline it is changing the meaning of the code! All other development environments people here have used don't do this and gcc shouldn't! Here's an example of code your compiler changes: #define HIGH_SPEED_TURRET // \ #define SAFETY_LOCKED_ON // >------------- Critical Configuration #define NEVER_PRIME_MISSILE // / The programmer put backslash space and the syntax highlighter correctly showed the safety was locked on. Sleep well.
