<p>The presence of a ‘<samp>;</samp>’ character on a line indicates the start of
a comment that extends to the end of that line.
</p>
<p>If a ‘<samp>#</samp>’ appears as the first character of a line, the whole line
is treated as a comment, but in this case the line can also be a
logical line number directive (see <a href="Comments.html#Comments">Comments</a>) or a
preprocessor control command (see <a href="Preprocessing.html#Preprocessing">Preprocessing</a>).

<p>The ‘<samp>|</samp>’ character can be used to separate statements on the same
line.
