Mixing comment styles and strings
jtobey@xxxxxx 21 Jul 2002 02:12 UTC
Is this supposed to be a comment or only the beginning of one?
#| ; |#
The lexical production rules say this "|#" is ignored as part of a
nested single-line comment, but the implementation regards it as the
end of a multi-line comment.
What about this?
#|
"This string |# is unbalanced."
|#
My intuition tells me the quoted "|#" does not terminate the comment,
but the SRFI and implementation say that it does. Should it be
possible to comment out strings and single-line comments that contain
the comment delimiters?
