Re: gcc preprocessor

Any developer sense on what it might take to extend the gcc
preprocessor to do these ? I have some experience with gcc front end.
I am especially keen abt multiline macros, so that the lines can be on
separate lines. Any neat trick that can accomplish this by using
#define ?

The answer is that gcc provides what the C standard specifies and nothing
more.  You appear to want a more complicated macro-processing language.
You'll need to look elsewhere; m4 is one possibility, though I'dm not a
fan of it.
