Comments with single-character delimiters not working #169

dcavar · 2016-02-17T01:29:02Z

As we discussed on the list, comments enclosed in quotes:
comment """ """;
do not work (I am talking about C++). As Aarne Ranta pointed out, "the enclosed comments don't seem to work with any one-character delimiters:
comment "[" "]" ;
doesn't work either, at least with Haskell/Alex."
Best!

Single character block comment delimiters have been implemented now in #202.

The Haskell backend now supports block comment delimiters of any length.
