preprocessing directive with no new-line character


According to the C standard (either C99 or C11), a preprocessing
directive ends with a new-line character: "The last token in the
sequence is the first new-line character that follows the first
token in the sequence."

But GCC accepts the following program with -std=c99 -pedantic:

int main (void)
{
  return 0;
}
#define FOO

where there is no new-line character after "FOO".

Is there any reason?
