Description Jon Smirl 2004-01-02 19:15:10 UTC 
Version:           CVS (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I had this code in a file that I tried to add to a project:

#define LRMI_CONCAT2(a, b) 	a ## b
#define LRMI_CONCAT(a, b) 	LRMI_CONCAT2(a, b)
#define LRMI_MAKENAME(a) 	LRMI_CONCAT(LRMI_PREFIX, a)


Adding the file locks kdevelop in a loop. I suspect the parser is having touble with 'a ## b'.

I wish the parser could just be taught C instead of treating C like C++.

I can't reproduce this anymore with KDevelop from CVS (2004-10-26). I took the source code from the bug report, put it in a file, and then added that file to my project, and kdevelop didn't hang. 

Thanks for the bug report.

Moving all the bugs from the CPP Parser. It was not well defined the difference between it and C++ Language Support and people kept reporting in both places indistinctively
