Possible comment bug in pkgundef file
Possible comment bug in pkgundef file
- Hello,Not sure how I should post bugs. I've found that in my pkgundef file. Comments that contain "*" cause a error message to be shown while loading the isolated shell. This seems like a bug since I would have expected all characters after "//" to be disregarded.Example Comment:// ** General Packages **-Shaun

- You're right.
pkgdef only supports "//" and single quote as the market for comments.- Marked As Answer byQuan ToMSFT, ModeratorMonday, November 09, 2009 9:49 PM

- Yes, this is a bug.
The // comments are not respected in the middle of a line in a pkgdef file.
If you move the comment to a new line, it'll work.
The pkundef file has been updated but it was done after the final Beta 2 SDK was built.- Unmarked As Answer bySalec Wednesday, November 04, 2009 5:42 AM

- Actually, this comment was the only text on a line. The specific thing that made it work was the omission of the "*" characters. I've seen the other bug you mention in which the mid-line comments that were provided had to be removed but this seems like something else.
