- Compiling the following code segment (no compiler options):
-
- #if 0
- This is a test of an if
- This line isn't going to work
- But this line will, as will the first line
- #endif
-
- with GCC 2.3.3 under Linux 0.99pl3 (i486), SunOs 4.1.1 (Sparc), and
- Ultrix 4.2 (DEC 5000) yields an the error:
-
- a.c:3: unterminated character constant
-
- The problem is the single quote. It also happens if you use an #ifdef,
- but doesn't happen if you put the text inside a comment.
