<p>Hello,</p>
<p>Before possibly posting a bug report, i would like to know if the
following change from Scilab 5.5.2 to 6.0.0 is an expected
restriction, or an unexpected one -- so a bug.</p>
<p>Scilab 5.5.2 accepts the following:</p>
<p><font size="-1"><tt>-->a = [</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>-->1 // line #1</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>-->2, // line #2</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>-->]</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> a =</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> 1. </tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> 2. </tt><tt><br>
</tt></font></p>
<p>while Scilab 6.0.0 does not:<br>
</p>
<p><font size="-1"><tt>--> a = [</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> > 1 // line #1</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> > 2, // line #2</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt> > ]</tt><tt><br>
</tt><tt>2, // line #2</tt><br>
^<br>
Error: syntax error, unexpected line comment</font></p>
<p>Please note that the appended comment passes if it does not
follow a comma.<br>
And that an error is generated even if the last row does not end
with a comma.<br>
</p>
<p><font size="-1"><tt>--> a = [<br>
> 1, // line #1<br>
> 2]<br>
1, // line #1<br>
^<br>
Error: syntax error, unexpected line comment<br>
</tt></font><br>
</p>
<p>Regards<br>
