Subject: 6.10p2: Breaking up the very long sentence
describing preprocessing directive
Summary
The sentence describing a preprocessing directive is fearsomely long.
Suggested Technical Corrigendum
Change 6.10p2:
A preprocessing directive consists of a sequence of preprocessing tokens
that begins with. The first token in the sequence is a#preprocessing token that (at the start of translation phase 4) is either the first character in the source file (optionally after white space containing no new-line characters) or that follows white space containing at least one new-line character, and is ended by the next. The last token in the sequence is the first new-line character that follows the first token in the sequence.140) A new-line character ends the preprocessing directive even if it occurs within what would otherwise be an invocation of a function-like macro.
Committee Response
TC2 (and specifically DR 250) changed that sentence into a definition.
Technical Corrigendum
Change 6.10p2:
A preprocessing directive consists of a sequence of preprocessing tokens
that begins withthat satisfies the following constraints. The first token in the sequence is a#preprocessing token that (at the start of translation phase 4) is either the first character in the source file (optionally after white space containing no new-line characters) or that follows white space containing at least one new-line character, and is ended by the next.
