为什么我的 c++ 评论没有在 VS 代码中关闭？

Question

I'm not understanding why my block comment won't close using /* */

/* 
Name:                                Net ID: 
Course:                                    Assignment: Part 1
Programming Environment: WSl VS Code
                         C++ compiler- g++
                         C++ debugger- gdb
Purpose of File: Generate lexical analyzer using flex

 */

It's recognizing /* */ if used in the same line, but nothing more. I just downloaded VS code, though I am somewhat familiar with c++ and this has me stumped..I apologize for the noobie question. Thank you in advance for any guidance on this issue I'm having.

Answer 1

You can put comments into a (f)lex scanner definition, but they must not touch the left margin. Every line of the comment must be indented by at least one space or tab.

I don't know if VS code really understands (f)lex syntax, but you'll have to indent your comments in order to process the file with flex.
