mcpp @2.7.2 patch for comments on end of line

[n.a.hawes@…]

mcpp 2.7.2 omits lines that have a comment on the end. This causes problems for ZeroC Ice as described here: ​http://www.zeroc.com/forums/bug-reports/5309-mishap-slice-compilers.html. ZeroC have patched mcpp, and it appears that the port contains some of these patches but not all of them. Unfortunately all the patches have been rolled into a single patch file, which I have attached (from the third party source archive ​http://www.zeroc.com/download.html#src). Perhaps it's easiest to replace the existing patches with this?

Has duplicate #30036 which has a different patch (only part of the patch attached here).

Patch for MCPP 2.7.2 to fix comment parsing problem

[andrew.edem@…]

I attached a single patch to the ticket that fixes the comment parsing problem. This is a subset of the larger ZeroC patch which was not included with the port. (The other patches are already there.)

I've already tested it and it compiles correctly and fixes the problems with the ice-python, which is basically non-functional right now due to this issue.

I agree with Andrew, placing ​https://trac.macports.org/attachment/ticket/30036/patch-mcpp-comment-parsing-fix in /opt/local/var/macports/sources/rsync.macports.org/release/tarballs/ports/devel/mcpp/files/ works and should be committed to macports.

Is Blair actually still maintaining this port or should we consider this abandoned? (the original patch was sent 6 months ago, Andrew sent a refined and easier to apply version 1 month ago).

[blair (Blair Zajac)]

Fixed in r89236 with other cleanup commits in r89235 and r89237.
