/* The C Programming Language: 2nd Edition
* Exercise 1-23:
* "Write a program to remove all comments from a C program. Don't forget to
* handle quoted strings and character constants properly. C comments do not
* nest."
*
* I'm not sure why the instructions tell the reader to account for quoted
* strings and character constants. Comments always begin with either // or
* /*, so that sets the boundary of state.
*
* The states for this program are IN_MULTI for a multi-line comment,
* IN_SINGLE for a single line comment, and OUT for being outside a comment.
* These three states are all I need to determine whether I should output the
* contents of the C file or not. Characters are only output when the state is
* OUT, and there are conditions for getting into and out of comment state.
*
* I don't know of any other way to do this without invoking some higher-level
* libraries.
