===========================================
gcc version 2.95.3 20010315/djgpp (release)
Windows98
===========================================

I would like to preprocess some file using gcc.

  Here is a file :
------ file input.t ------
# if (0)
abc's xyz
#endif
--------------------------

  Here is a command line :
%gcc -P -E -x c -o output.t input.t

  Here is an error message.
input.t:2: unterminated string or character constant


However the reason (abc's) is within
 #if (0) ... #endif

Why does gcc detect that ?
Can we avoid this error message (any additional options) ?
