Description Marko Tomljenovic CLA 2012-02-02 05:45:05 EST 
Build Identifier: 8.0.1

The following code

#define TEST "Hello" /* First word */\
"world!"

is not resolved to the correct value "Hello"\"world!" but to "Hello" only.
Leaving out the comment in the above #define, the intended define will be resolved.



Reproducible: Always

Works for me, I have tested using the following code:

#define TEST "Hello" /* First word */\
"world!";

void test() {
	char* x= TEST    // no syntax error, so the ; is picked up 
}

Then maybe it is only a hover tooltip problem. Take a look at the attached screenshot.

Looks like it, it won't affect the index.

Right. So it seems there is a bug in the hover. Can you please move this issue then to the right component?

Thank you

Starting from 8.1, the source hover is not shown when hovering on a definition, see Bug 359392. 

If you hover on this one:

char* x= TEST 

then this is displayed in the source hover:

"Hello" /* First word */\
"world!";

Which seems ideal to me.
