It's also not fully compatbile with GCC's -traditional-cpp, and continuing to work on it is not something we're really interested in since it can slow down regular preprocessing. (I had to fight with Richard Smith to get a compatibility fix in several months ago, and honestly I tend to agree with him.)</div><div><br></div><div>I imagine we'd accept patches to split the whitespace-preserving behavior out from the rest of -traditional-cpp as long as it doesn't slow down the preprocessor.</div><div><br></div><div>Jordan</div></body></html>
