Ya, I changed the lexer and "fixed" it. I also noticed that in the CPP lexer there is are several checks for sc.atLineEnd. That check will never return true because the sc.More() function that the state machine is driven off always returns (currentPos < endPos) so it will never be equal or true. I "fixed" that too. :)
