Greetings!
I was working on a port last night and stumbled upon this code
fragment (paraphrased here):
#define X 1
#define Y 2
X+Y
I was surprised to see that ``X+Y'' was expanded to ``1 +2''. So,
I started digging through ANSI and couldn't seem to locate something
to clearly define this behaviour.
- why the inserted whitespace?
- why no whitespace after `+'?
Any insight would be appreciated...
