Bug #: 14360
Summary: parser: document string literal concatenation, drop /*
*/ special treatment
Product: systemtap
Version: unspecified
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: translator
AssignedTo: systemtap@sourceware.org
ReportedBy: fche@redhat.com
Classification: Unclassified
Bug #11617 and its predecessor bug #11208 tweaked the way consecutive string
literals are glued together early during parsing. The current behavior is not
properly documented in the man page, and has a special surprise, the
ate_comment flag that prevents gluing with an intermediary /* */. This special
behavior should be dropped unless well-motivated and documented. This should
result in simpler parser code. (If we decide to preserve current behavior with
--compatible=1.8, the code simplification benefits won't accrue. :-(
