/COMMENTS={AS_IS | SPACE} /COMMENTS=SPACE (D) (ANSI89, RELAXED, and MIA compiler modes) /NOCOMMENTS (D) (all other compiler modes) Governs whether or not comments appear in preprocess output files and, if they are to appear, whether they appear themselves or are replaced by a single space. Specify one of the following qualifier options: AS_IS Specifies that the comment appears in the output file. SPACE Specifies that a single space replaces the comment in the output file. NOCOMMENTS specifies that nothing replaces the comment in the output file. This can result in inadvertent token pasting. The VSI C preprocessor might replace a comment at the end of a line or on a line by itself with nothing, even if /COMMENTS=SPACE is specified. Doing so does not change the meaning of the program. The default is /COMMENTS=SPACE for the ANSI89, RELAXED, and MIA compiler modes. The default is /NOCOMMENTS for all other compiler modes. Specifying just /COMMENTS defaults to /COMMENTS=AS_IS.
