not a big deal, but i'm curious why C hasn't been extended to
include the gcc extension #warning macro?
more to the point, why not additional directives like, say, #note or
#info. there are times (in gcc) when i want some feedback from the
preprocessor as it's running and i'll use #warning. but i'm not happy
with that since what's happening isn't something that really requires
a "warning", it's just something i wanted to know about.
was there ever any discussion to add an extra information directive
or two to the preprocessor? just curious. it doesn't seem like this
would be a major issue in terms of enhancement.
