Re: preprocessor behavoir change with -ansi in assembly????

[Sean McNeil <sean at mcneil dot com>]

OK, I agree.  Yet you can pass all kinds of other flags into gcc that
are not related to the assembler (-finline for example) and they do not
affect the way assembly files are parsed.  This, in my opinion, is a
bug.

The preprocessor behavior should not change when -ansi is used on an
assembly file.  I can no longer use the same flags to compile all my
code since I would have to remove -ansi on commands that process
assembly files.
