Research direction
Reproduce the two examples in Monaco's C/C++ editor and compare their highlighting with the behavior shown for GitHub and VSCode. Trace the syntax-highlighting implementation used for C/C++ and verify that both continued macros and continued single-line comments remain highlighted through the continuation lines.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
monaco-editor version: 0.15.1
Browser: Chrome (maybe others)
OS: Windows
In C/C++ \ is used as line continuation mark so defining macros in multi-line is possible:
#define MACRO do { \
} while(false);
It is also possible to change a single line comment to multi-line with \:
// Multi \
Line \
Comment
As you see in above snippet, Github syntax highlighter accept this syntax in comments and colorize line 2 and 3 as comments, but Monaco does not:
This is somehow strange that the VSCode highlights it correctly but Monaco does not.
