version 4.3.2 on Linux armv7l

The following code gives unexpected results:

SUB something
' \
 PRINT "bonjour"
 PRINT "au revoir"
END SUB

SUB something_else
' \
 PRINT "bonjour"
 PRINT "au revoir"
END SUB

PRINT
PRINT "something :"
something

PRINT
PRINT "something_else :"
something_else

result:

something :
bonjour
au revoir

something_else :
au revoir

Even nastier is this one:

SUB something_completely_else

' \
END SUB
 Rik.

The following code gives unexpected results:

These results are expected. The '\' symbol is part of a comment and will be ignored so the PRINT will be executed.

If you want to wrap comment over multiple lines then you can use the C-style /* and */ pairs.

This works correctly in the Shell version (the '/' symbol is ignored) but in the BaCon version it works only when the comment is at the beginning of the line.

So that is not very consequent, it is fixed in the latest beta.
