[英]The behavior of /* comment when printing to stdout in C++
my question comes from the following 2 simple line of C++ code:我的问题来自以下 2 行简单的 C++ 代码:
cout<<"/*";
cout<<"*/";
In my opinion, the comment delimiters /* */
eat the characters ";
and cout<<"
which is inside of them.在我看来,注释分隔符
/* */
吃掉了其中的字符";
和cout<<"
。 So the two lines must be equal to:所以这两行必须等于:
cout<<"";
Surprisingly, when I compile and test the code, the program prints:令人惊讶的是,当我编译和测试代码时,程序打印:
/**/
It is likely the program recognize comment delimiter as normal characters.程序很可能将注释分隔符识别为普通字符。 How could that be?
怎么会这样? The code was compiled in gcc-c++-4.7.2.
代码是在 gcc-c++-4.7.2 中编译的。
The C standard tells us how to run the parser, and it turns out that (for various reasons) when you begin parsing a string literal, you don't stop until you reach the end double-quote, even if there's a comment character in the middle. C 标准告诉我们如何运行解析器,结果证明(出于各种原因)当您开始解析字符串文字时,您不会停止直到到达双引号结尾,即使其中有注释字符中间。 Try some of these:
尝试其中一些:
cout<<"// this won't give an error";
cout<<"Does it print /* this here */?";
The character sequences /* and */ are not special within double-quoted strings, and do not therefore introduce comments, because a program (particularly one which is generating C code as output) might want to print them.
字符序列 /* 和 */ 在双引号字符串中并不特殊,因此不会引入注释,因为程序(特别是生成 C 代码作为输出的程序)可能想要打印它们。 (It is hard to imagine why anyone would want or need to place a comment inside a quoted string. It is easy to imagine a program needing to print "/*".)
(很难想象为什么有人想要或需要在带引号的字符串中放置注释。很容易想象需要打印“/*”的程序。)
