Line-splicing occurs when the \ character is immediately followed by a new-line character. If the source line containing a ``++//++`` comment ends with a '\', the next line becomes part of the comment. This may result in unintentional removal of code.


== Noncompliant Code Example

----
void f ( void )
{
  int x = 0; // comment \
  if (x)
  {
    ++x; /* This is always executed */
  }
}
