[Bug preprocessor/45696] New: Continuation character gets lost or not taken into account

[John dot Tytgat at aaug dot net]

Using gcc 4.6.0 20100915 trunk revision 164317

Using the preprocessor on following piece:

--8<--
error_identifiers: \
        kErr_AlreadyWaitingForGDB("Already waiting for a GDB to connect")
--8<--

gcc -E gives me:

--8<--
# 1 "test-preprocess.c"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 1 "test-preprocess.c"
error-identifiers:
 kErr_AlreadyWaitingForGDB("Already waiting for a GDB to connect")
--8<--

I.e. the continuation character got lost or was not taken into account.  Either
I expect it to survive the preprocessing, either it should have been taken into
account like e.g. with gcc 4.1.2:

--8<--
# 1 "test-preprocess.c"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command line>"
# 1 "test-preprocess.c"
error-identifiers: kErr_AlreadyWaitingForGDB("Already waiting for a GDB to
connect")
--8<--
