Yes, the tokens are separated by whitespace, so it is sufficient if they are again separated by whitespace after preprocessing. See http://gcc.gnu.org/PR41445 for details why this changed, in short without the change the tokens have incorrect location and cause unintended differences in debug info between direct compilation and compilation where preprocessing happens separately from compilation. You can use cpp -P to avoid this (then the output won't be cluttered with # <line> <filename> either).
