- While reading parts of the April 1995 draft I noticed that the section on
- preprocessing seemed to be pretty much the same as the ANSI C
- preprocessor. Was there a concious descision to make no changes? What if
- any are the differences between the proposed C++ preprocessor and the
- existing ANSI preproccor?. One change I was hoping for was the inclusion
- of a non-fatal "#warning" directive to match the fatal '#error" directive.
- (hey, the compiler can make both errors and warnings, why can't I?). As
- you probably know, a number of compilers support the #warning directive.
- Additionally, adding some reccomended pragmas such as (I am sure there are
- other "standard" (or annoyingly non-standard) pragmas I could think of if
- pressed);
-
- #pragma once
- #pragma unused funcname varname{,varname...}
-
- would have been nice.
