Interesting idea.

What is the best way to proceed? You can find maintainers of any part of gcc by looking in the file MAINTAINERS (look for "cpplib" in this case). It is also often helpful to look at the appropriate ChangeLog file to see who has changed the code. >From a lexing perspective, these raw string literals are more akin to /**/ comments then they are to strings. Personally, I would recommend writing a function along the lines of _cpp_skip_block_comment, and call that either from lex_string or _cpp_lex_direct. Ian
