Ever hear of sed? How about AWK? Just eliminate the comment's contents. If you need to keep the comments in the source, sed/awk as an additional pre-processor step in your makefile should do the trick. Granted, there might be cases where // might be in a literal, but a quick look with fgrep should find those for you and then take additional action (in a awk script). O.K., so what am I so stupid that I'm not seeing? jim - ??? - miller jamiller@hpmpeb7.cup.hp.com (a.k.a James A. Miller; Jim the JAM; stupid; @!?$$!; ... ) Anything I say will be used against me ... But my company doesn't know or approve or condone anything of mine here.
