Except for multi-line macro definitions the answer is yes.
The answer for multi-line macro definitions can possibly be that
the standard is somewhat less than clear about the effect.
You can probably find more information about the issue (which
I've nearly forgot, just a vague recollection that there is an
issue) by using a search engine, or delving into the standard.

How is it "less than clear"? See 2.1 Phases of translation.
'2' happens earlier than '3', and those happen earlier than '4'.
So, a backslash+newli ne in a // comment makes the comment span
more than one line. Then the comment is replaced with a single
space character, and only after that the preprocessing directives
are executed.
So, by the time preprocessor gets its hands on the directives,
there are no more comments in the file.

Neither did I until it was discussed either here or in
comp.lang.c++.m oderated, I'm not sure. Seeing your comments I
think the issue was about __LINE__. But not sure...

Has there ever been any discussion of adding comments notation to Python,
such as C++'s /* */, which could occur in the middle of a line or span
multiple lines ? I would like to see it as a more elegant solution for
quickly commenting out code. I am aware of the """ """ technique around
multiple lines but even that seems a poor hack. A comment that could enclose
any sequence of characters would be most welcome.

Hi,
I have redesigned one html page by removing all the tables. You can
see this test page at http://www.ngrain.com/css/home1.htm. Only
home1.htm has been redesigned without tables. Rest of the site uses
tables for layout.
I would appreciate if you can take a look at this page and CSS and
comment on the coding.

At the risk of flogging a dead horse, I'm wondering why Python doesn't have
any multiline comments. One can abuse triple-quotes for that purpose, but
that's obviously not what it's for and doesn't nest properly. ML has a
very elegant system for nested comments with (* and *).
Using an editor to throw #s in front of every line has limitations. Your
editor has to support it and you have to know how to use that feature. Not
exactly...

Recently, a heated debate started because of poor mr heathfield
was unable to compile a program with // comments.
Here is a utility for him, so that he can (at last) compile my

More seriously, this code takes 560 bytes. Amazing isn't it? C is very
ompact, you can do great things in a few bytes.
Obviously I have avoided here, in consideration for his pedantic

Tomorrow is block comment day. I want them to nest. I think the reason
that they don't routinely nest is that it's a lot of trouble to code.
Two questions:
1) Given a start and end location (line position and char index) in an
array of lines of text, how do you Pythonly extract the whole block
comment? (Goal: not to have Bruno accusing me - correctly - of writing
C in Python.)
2) My tokenizer has a bunch of module-level constants...
