Hallo,

for those livin in a mixed Unix/Dos environment, the (bad) habbit of
Dos/Windows programs to replace LF with CR/LF has probably caused
grief before. Especially Macros going over several lines get unreadable.

Couldn't we make GCC swallow CR/LF?

Would such a patch have chances to get into the standard GCC?

Bye
