define statements and \

[Paul Johnson]

With gcc-2.95.2, I have recently run into this problem a lot. Code uses
a \ in a define statement, as in:


#define Fact( id, doc, a1, a2, a3, a4, a5, a6, a7, a8, e1, e2, e3, e4,
e5, e6, e7, e8, e9, e10, n1, n2, n3, n4, n5, n6, n7, n8, n9, n10, pr ) \
   enum __##id { e1, e2, e3, e4, e5, e6, e7, e8, e9, e10 };

and the compiler error is

 stray '\' in program

I gather WIndows allows continuation in define lines and Linux does not?
