This problem has previously been encountered. And my last solution was
not satisfactory.
It seems like there were 2 regex lines, one targeting `//` and another
targeting `/* */`.
Originally they were basically meant to perform this:
Search for
```c
;<COMMENT>;\n
```
and replacing it with
```c
;<COMMENT>
```
In e00ba2e62fd4a72b9c1ac94894c2279884e55b60 I provided a patch to add
another `;` for `//` as it would eat the first `;` after the `<COMMENT>`
After thinking for some time, I came to the conclusion that the lines of
REGEX serve no purpose and should be removed.
For future reference:
e00ba2e62fd4a72b9c1ac94894c2279884e55b60 was targeting this problem:
```c
printf("why is the last ; missing?"); // foo \n int a=42;
```
which generated something along the lines of
```c
printf("why is the last ; missing?");
// foo
int a = 42return 0;
```
Where it would strip a `;` from the first line after a `//` comment
And this commit additionally targeted:
```c
printf("foo\n");
//printf("bar\n");
printf("baz\n");
// only happens if the line ends with ; eg:
printf("hello\n");
// deny with ;
printf("world\n");
```
output:
foo
hello
expected:
foo
baz
hello
world
where it generated the code:
```c
printf("foo\n");
//printf("bar\n" );printf("baz\n" );
// only happens if the line ends with ; eg:
printf("hello\n");
// deny with ;printf("world\n" );
```
Thus this should fix#62 and the original problem
