character. You can continue directives, as well as normal source lines, over several lines by

ending lines that are to be continued with a backslash (\).

In ANSI mode, white space may precede the # character in preprocessing

directives.

Comments in the source ﬁle that are not passed by default through the preprocessor are

replaced with a single white-space character. Examples

: #include <stdio.h>

macro-directive

: #define MAC x+y

conditional-directive

: #ifdef MAC

line-directive

: #line 5 "myfile"

pragma-directive

: #pragma INTRINSIC func
