Bug 939479 – app-editors/nano incorrect C syntax highlighting

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description stefan11111 2024-09-11 19:41:09 UTC]

When opening a .c file in nano, /* and */ get treated as comment markers, even in string literals.

For example, when opening this as a .c file:

char *x = "/*"; char *y = "*/";

#include <stdio.h>

int main()
{
    printf("%s %s\n", x, y);
}

The syntax highlighter treats everything between the /* and the */ as a comment,
even though this is incorrect.
