Support for comments /* ... */

[toml_12953]

One way to better visualize a code, where a function has several arguments (for example input( arg1, arg2, ..., argn), is to write each argument in a separate line

input
(
arg1,
arg2,
...,
argn
);

But if you want to comment with // the code generates error, because the comment covers until the end of the sentence (; ), for this we need comments of the form / * * /

PHP Code:

export testInputList()
begin
    local a, b, c;
    local resetVAL_a, resetVAL_b, resetVAL_c;
    local initVAL_a, initVAL_b, initVAL_c;

    initVAL_a:={1}; initVAL_b:={2}; initVAL_c:={3}; 
    resetVAL_a:={}; resetVAL_b:={}; resetVAL_c:={}; 
    
    local ObjectType_AllAllowed := -1;
    local ObjectType_Real := 0;
    local ObjectType_Integer := 1;
    local ObjectType_String := 2;  
    local ObjectType_Complex := 3;  
    local ObjectType_Matrix := 4;
    local ObjectType_List := 6;
    local ObjectType_Function := 8;  
    local ObjectType_Unit := 9;  
    local ObjectType_CAS := 14;

    local ObjectType := ObjectType_List;
    local title;

    case
        if ObjectType == -1 then title:="Type Allow: "+"Alls" end;
        if ObjectType == 0 then title:="Type Allow: "+"Real" end;
        if ObjectType == 1 then title:="Type Allow: "+"Integer" end;
        if ObjectType == 2 then title:="Type Allow: "+"String" end;  
        if ObjectType == 3 then title:="Type Allow: "+"Complex" end;  
        if ObjectType == 4 then title:="Type Allow: "+"Matrix" end;
        if ObjectType == 6 then title:="Type Allow: "+"List" end;
        if ObjectType == 8 then title:="Type Allow: "+"Function" end;  
        if ObjectType == 9 then title:="Type Allow: "+"Unit" end;  
        if ObjectType == 14 then title:="Type Allow: "+"CAS" end;
     default
        title:="Type Allow: "+"?"
     end;

    local ok := 1;
    local cancel := 0;
    local keyPressedOnMenu := 0;
    keyPressedOnMenu := input 
    (  
        { 
         {a, [ObjectType] }, 
         {b, [ObjectType] },
         {c, [ObjectType] }

        }, 
        title,
        { "label_a", "label_b","label_c" }, 
        { "help_a", "help_b", "help_c" },           
        { resetVAL_a, resetVAL_b, resetVAL_c }, 
        { initVAL_a, initVAL_b, initVAL_c } 
    );
    if keyPressedOnMenu == ok then
        return ({a, b, c});  
    else
        return "Done";
    end;
end; 


Successful compilation
But not with

PHP Code:

INPUT
(   
       ...    
       { "help_a", "help_b", "help_c" },           
        //{ resetVAL_a, resetVAL_b, resetVAL_c }, 
       //{ initVAL_a, initVAL_b, initVAL_c } 
); // end input 


The problem would be solved in the following way

PHP Code:

INPUT
(   
       ...    
       { "help_a", "help_b", "help_c" },           
        /* { resetVAL_a, resetVAL_b, resetVAL_c },  */
        /* { initVAL_a, initVAL_b, initVAL_c } */
); 


Would the following be equivalent?

PHP Code:

INPUT
(   
       ...    
       { "help_a", "help_b", "help_c" },           
        /* { resetVAL_a, resetVAL_b, resetVAL_c },
            { initVAL_a, initVAL_b, initVAL_c } */
);
