### ALP3896: Control character illegal in this context

A COMMENT preprocessor directive was encountered, and an attempt was made to scan for the next character which signifies the beginning and end of the comment text, but an unexpected non-printable control character was encountered instead.

Recovery: Only characters that are representable as printable text may be used to open and close a COMMENT sequence.
