Good catch! This plays together interestingly with IGNORE_WHITESPACE_AT_EOL, too. If that is set the endp is just put further to the front, so we'd actually compare white spaces after endp. If that flag is not set, we'd get NUL or nonsense. > I'm out of time for tonight and not familiar enough with the color-moved > code to come up with a reasonable test case quickly, but maybe you can > see if that can trigger bad behavior? > > -Peff
