Comments stripper (stripc in C)
Well I had a file which had a load of comments, and I wanted to get rid of them fast. So I made this program. Please comment for any enhancements or anything else.

LGPL basically means you can use it in both proprietary and open source projects, but just give me credit. (I think, if not then change the licence to that.)
The file I tested it on is shown below:
(Toggle Plain Text) 
  	/* very stupid
  	example */
#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
	int i;
	printf("hi\n");

	/* huh? */ printf("%d\n", '/*');

	if(1 != 1/2)
		printf("stup/*id\n");

	/*** bye ***/
	for(i = 0; /* lol */ i < 1; i++)
		printf("bye\n");

	// exit
	return 0;
}

Hehe well, I'm pretty sure there are some programs that generate comments for your functions. I haven't searched on google but I'm pretty sure there are a couple.

Anyway, I fixed a small bug, which happened when '\\' was in the code, because it wouldn't see '\\' but would see '\'', so that it would think the literal did not end.

Two other minor bugs fixed.
When a line comment was present it skipped the first character and didn't print the newline.

Well I _REALLY_ thought it was finished, until I wanted to strip multiple files of comments... I also changed it so one can see which file fails if it does.

Interesting, but wouldn't it be easier to just run it through the preprocessor with the appropriate switches? And yes, before you ask, I realize they are not actually removed, but are replaced with whitespace, but that should be good enough, right?

Yeah I guess that would be okay too, but the VC++ compiler will complain:
Quote:
la.cpp(4) : fatal error C1083: Can not open include file: 'iostream': No such file or directory
So I have to specify where it can find them.

It would also preprocess (read: remove) my macros and if I included headers it might really include them in the file.

And lastly if I'm somewhere without a compiler, and would still like to look at some code, but's it's so heavily commented that I can't see the forest for the trees, then I'd be stuck.
