mikroC - C Compiler for Microchip PIC microcontrollers

Comments are pieces of text used to annotate a program, and are technically another form of whitespace. Comments are for the programmer’s use only; they are stripped from the source text before parsing. There are two ways to delineate comments: the C method and the C++ method. Both are supported by mikroC.

C comments

C comment is any sequence of characters placed after the symbol pair /*. The comment terminates at the first occurrence of the pair */ following the initial /*. The entire sequence, including the four comment-delimiter symbols, is replaced by one space after macro expansion.

In mikroC,

int /* type */ i /* identifier */;

parses as:

int i;

Note that mikroC does not support the nonportable token pasting strategy using /**/. For more on token pasting, refer to Preprocessor topics.

C++ comments

mikroC allows single-line comments using two adjacent slashes (//). The comment can start in any position, and extends until the next new line. The following code,

int i; // this is a comment

int j;

parses as:

int i; int j;
