cpp w/DOS line feeds

[Stuart Summerville (NEC)]

Hi all,

I'm currently contemplating the problem in gcc (or cpp in particular) of
multi-line macros that are not interpreted properly if the EOL is made up of
CRs as well as LFs. I've seen the informative thread from 21-Jan-99 about
this, with some bandied solutions, but nothing since then. Couldn't find
much in the gcc-bugs or gcc-announce lists either.

So, whats the current status on this issue? I'm currently running gcc
V2.91.57, & hope that 2.95.x contains the fix. Speaking of which, is the CPP
actually part of the gcc package? If not, where is it located? How does one
find out the version of their CPP tool?

Also, how does one search through web-based release notes between V2.91 and
V2.95 looking for such things?

Regards, sTu.
