The compiler simply discards comments and it has no infrastructure to
link comments in any way to code.
Naturally, comments are no good for the compiler --so, I am assuming
that the current parser does recognise comments but does not add them
to the parse tree; if so, it is fine, all it will have to do is to
add those nodes while the compiler still ignores them. Would that be
too difficult to add?
I think the biggest problems are the directives. The compiler parser
simply skips ELSE code.
A code formatter should not ignore that parts.
How do you want to format an include file for another target?
How to handle macros?
At this moment, all I can utter will be theoretical stuff. Like,
producing alternative branches for directives and formatting them. I
have no idea to offer for macros though.
But, knowing that you have spent far^n more time on those issues than I
am, I have a feeling (or, hope) you will have much more practicable
suggestions (than mine) for those sorts of problems.
How would *you* deal with macros?
