CVS autoconf ifnames and C++ comments

[Nicolas Joly]

Hi,

It seems that CVS autoconf ifnames, does not handle C++ comments. I
thought it was already supported, as a ChangeLog entry claims :

2003-04-08  Akim Demaille  <address@hidden>

        * bin/ifnames.in: Skip C++ comments.
        From Jeremy Yallop.

It seems that the program was not updated in the mean time ?

address@hidden [tmp/ifnames]> cat foo.c
#if X // To be removed later
 this is a bad sample
#endif
address@hidden [tmp/ifnames]> ~/temp/autoconf/bin/ifnames foo.c
To foo.c
X foo.c
be foo.c
later foo.c
removed foo.c

address@hidden [tmp/ifnames]> ~/temp/autoconf/bin/ifnames --version
ifnames (GNU Autoconf) 2.57f
