C-File to reproduce the bug. just run doxygen on it

a print containing a literal "/*" can break parsing, if enclosed in the ignored branch of an #ifdef. See attached file for example.

The doxygen.log is clean; there are no errors or warnings.

The workaround is to put a comment in the line causing the problem, which to find is the larger problem.

replace 
    sprintf(filename, "%s/*.*", dirname);
by
    sprintf(filename, "%s/*.*", dirname);  /* workaround */
and it works.
Comment 1 Dimitri van Heesch 2010-06-11 13:07:57 UTC 
Confirmed. Should be fixed in the next subversion update.
Comment 2 Dimitri van Heesch 2010-06-15 11:21:34 UTC 
This bug was previously marked ASSIGNED, which means it should be fixed in
doxygen version 1.7.0. Please verify if this is indeed the case. Reopen the
bug if you think it is not fixed and please include any additional information
that you think can be relevant.
Comment 3 kremers 2010-06-15 12:26:45 UTC 
Confirm fix in 1.7.0. Thank you.
