I've been scanning the MSC5.1 manuals and can't find this information.
What is the longest source line that the MSC5.1 compiler will accept?
Does MSC5.1 ignore the characters beyond this length?
Does MSC6.0 have a longer limit?
Anyone have a hack to intelligently truncate lines to an arbitrary
length at the nearest white space and take care of quoted strings?
Problem:
My C++ translator outputs a *.c file for the GNU string library that
has lines extending beyond 200 characters. MSC5.1 outputs a compiler
error stating mismatched ")" or syntax errors. I suspect the line is
too long for MSC5.1 because my BRIEF editor is setup for 144 characters
per line, and running the BRACE macro also reports a mismatched brace.
However, if I initiate BRIEF with a 1K line length, all the braces
match.
Thanks in advance.--
Sanjay
