Our line limit is 80 characters, assuming that there is a single
terminating newline character that counts towards the limit. On
Windows, this might go as high as 81 characters, if we count CRLF as
two characters.
This change should reduce the number of cases where we say
"/* !(!defined(foo)) */" .
This only does cases where we can use a regex to make sure that the
simplification is guaranteed to be correct. Full boolean
simplification would require this script to parse C, and nobody
wants that.
If we would add a comment making a line longer than 80 columns,
instead truncate the variable portion of the comment until it just
fits into 80 columns, with an ellipsis.
