Bug Summary and Steps to Reproduce
Bug Summary:
The disabled code region fail on simple case.
I'm using CMake and the MSVC 2022 C compiler, with the following simple code
#define USE_FIRST
#define USE_ANTYHING
#if defined(USE_FIRST)
#include <stdio.h>
#elif defined(USE_SECOND)
#include <stdio.h>
#else
#error Either USE_FIRST or USE_SECOND must be defined
#endif
int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
printf("Main executed\r\n");
return 0;
}
The normal output is the following:
However sometimes it's failing
For example when you press one or two times the Ctrl+S (save file) then the disabled dimed area fail:
