(C) \ not respected

See original GitHub issue

Describe the issue

Which language seems to have the issue?

C

Are you using highlight or highlightAuto? highlight

Sample Code to Reproduce

https://jsfiddle.net/gm16s8nf/

// this is a comment, but since I added a slash, \
this is part of it too

Expected behavior

In C, a ‘\’ character extends the current lined (effectively negating the following \n ) Since the second line is also part of the comment, it should be highlighted as such.

Hmmm. C_LINE_COMMENT_MODE is used in 62 language definitions. As far as I know (might be wrong), no languages other than C and C++ actually support line continuations though. And while rare I don’t think it’s unthinkable that somebody is using \ at the end of their line, e.g. as an ornamental border. I think it would be best if we kept C_LINE_COMMENT_MODE unchanged and used something different for c-like. The name is a bit odd then, but not really; these are C-style line comments, after all.

HAHAHAHA.

Handling single-line comments only should be sufficient.

Wholly agree - lets fix the reported problem. 😃 The rest is outside scope. Do you have any thoughts on negative impact that might have on other languages using the C rule but NOT fully complying? I’m guessing it would be minimal (or zero impact) and therefore ok to add this to our C_ modes (esp. since that is their name).
