------- Additional Comments From johann dot glaser at gmx dot at 2005-09-06 15:59 ------- Sure, but without -P no additional newlines are printed, so these two are clearly "to much".
Since cpp is often used for other things than C preprocessing, newlines are annoying or even kill tools relying on it. I found this bug because we have a script sending emails which uses cpp to preprocess the mail content. Since the first few lines of the mail contain the header, no additional newlines are acceptable, because /usr/sbin/sendmail will interpret these as header-body-delimiter. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23751
