The only case I can think of is when the "b..." is an existing macro, i.e. something like: 1 #include 2 3 #define b0101 + 3 4 5 int 6 main(void) 7 { 8 printf("%u\n", 0 b0101); 9 return 0; 10 } But that's a rather contrived example. Making the "0b...." support tunable through a command-line option seems ok for me.
