AFAICT, the choice of whether to insert line breaks in preprocessed
output is arbitrary. The patch at
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2000-12/msg00021.html where this
testcase was introduced mentions `newlines in a macro argument are
whitespace' [6.10.3]/10, but I don't see any wording in the standard
that implies that line breaks shouldn't be propagated to the
preprocessor output. In fact, I don't see that the standard actually
mentions preprocessor output at all.
Since you wrote the patch and the testcase, I hope you can clarify
what your take on it is, such that I can either adjust the testcase
(in case the choice was arbitrary) or not only revert the separate
preprocessor patch, but also modify the integrated preprocessor to
comply with this decision.
Thanks,
