Vim search in C/C++ code lines

Question

Is there any way to search a string in a C/C++ source file while skipping commented lines?

Answer 1

Not sure if this is helpful but when you type :syn it has all the formatting that is used in your file type. Maybe you can refer to that somehow. You could say something like:

map n betterN

function betterN{
  n keystroke
  while currentLine matches comment class
    do another n keystroke
}
