Huh? This is a bug. The reason it happens is nothing to do with inner or outer macros, but the fact that arguments are collected before being expanded, and an implementation detail where we don't take the line from the token (otherwise __LINE__ would be misexpanded if the RHS of a macro definition) but from the global line counter. It may not be worth fixing; I suspect the reason other implementations fail too is that it's hard to get it right, and the ability to easily do so is heavily dependent on exactly how your preprocessor is implemented. (a bit like the #s vs %:s bug). Neil. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=20262
