August 13, 2007

Fix in V2.4.0.5
75
 Since SourceMonitor doesn't process macros in C, they are parsed as if they were function calls. If the call arguments contain a question mark, it is mistaken for the start of a conditional and SourceMonitor goes looking for the colon. This should happen in C++ as well (it has been added). Parser changed to require white space before the '?' inside a parenthesis. This will solve many macros but not all.
