I'm not sure this is legit. If I'm reading the C spec correctly, a
character or string constant can be only terminated by ' or "
respectively. Although it can't contain unescaped newline characters
either, so it looks like we are actually in the realm of "undefined
behavior".
So, I guess this change will only have any effect on non-standard
complying sources, and in the specific case of asm-style comments, it
brings us the behavior we want. On the other hand, it also actually
turns an error (unexpected end of file) into a warning, which may be
troublesome in general.
I hope it doesn't break anything else...

(You can take this email as "okay for me, but someone else may know better")

I guess the safest way is to make it optional. As a result, the old
behavior will be kept for other users of wpp and only D3DCompiler will
be affected by this change.

Please forget this patch. It's superseded by another.
