C++ Lexer: Coloring error with /** in strings

[AndiDog]

The C++ Lexer recognizes /** inside strings as documentation:

Code Select Expand

#define TEST1            "/**"

everything in between is doxymentation-colored

#define TEST2            "*/"

[MortenMacFly]

That is a bug in the wxScintilla component we are using. As a workaround you can simply escape one or more of the characters (as it's a string) like:

Code Select Expand


#define BLAH "\/\*\*"
    cout << "Hello world!" << BLAH << endl;
#define BLUBB "*\/"

You will receive a compiler warning about an unknown escape sequence but you can safely igonere it.
