Re: [Csnd-dev] Line continuation issue

Some thoughts.....

Looking at Engine/csound_orc.lex in cs6 the lexing of '+' is

"+"{OPTWHITE}"\n"? {
                      if (UNLIKELY(strchr(yytext, '\n')))

csound_orcset_lineno(1+csound_orcget_lineno(yyscanner),
                                             yyscanner);
                      return '+';
                    }

So the whte space after the plus is removed. So Dave's Code becomes 
  aout = (adiff  * $CTL_COMBOS_DIFF1) + (adiff2 * $CTL_COMBOS_DIFF2) +



And so e dse what we get in cs6

.  Compare this with the Engine.csound_orc.lex in cs7

I cannot find the selfsame ode nor a version.  cs6 uses more Flex formats 
but I think it is lost.

Who wrote the cs7 lexer?  Was not me and  do not follow it.

On the other hand mu Head is hurting so thinking is hard
