This simple code sample highlights a problem
with C syntax highlight ;-)
Sample code starts here:
/*
printf("\nargv[] = { \n");
for (i=0;argv[i] != NULL;i++)
printf("/* argv[%2d] = */ \"%s\",\n",i,argv[i]);
printf("};\n\n");
*/
I am not sure it compiles with all compilers (if at all!).
We are in a block comment, so within it, there is no syntax checking:
neither the lexer nor the compiler are able to see that the middle */ is
inside a C string...
So we fall in the "nested C comment" case, which is forbidden.
I usually comment out large portions of C code with
#ifdef DUMMY
[...]
#endif
just loosing the comment colour hint...
