ABL electronic PIC Microcontrollers PIC18 User Manual

Comments are pieces of text used to annotate a program, and are technically
another form of whitespace. Comments are for the programmer’s use only; they
are stripped from the source text before parsing. There are two ways to delineate
comments: the C method and the C++ method. Both are supported by mikroC.

C comment is any sequence of characters placed after the symbol pair 

/*

. The

comment terminates at the first occurrence of the pair 

*/

following the initial 

/*

.

The entire sequence, including the four comment-delimiter symbols, is replaced by
one space after macro expansion.

In mikroC,

/* type */ i /* identifier */;

parses as:

i;

Note that mikroC does not support the nonportable token pasting strategy using

/**/

. For more on token pasting, refer to Preprocessor topics.

mikroC allows single-line comments using two adjacent slashes (

//

). The com-

ment can start in any position, and extends until the next new line. The following
code,

i;  

// this is a comment

j;

parses as:

i;

j;
