Subject: 3B2 cpp #ifdef + #include
Message-ID: <109@iquery.UUCP>

Organization: Programmed Intelligence, San Antonio
Lines: 27
Keywords: cpp 3B2 #ifdef #include

Has anyone else noticed this on the 3B2 (using C Programming Languages
Issue 4 Version 0)?

Code fragment:

#ifdef XXXXX
junk junk
#include junk
#endif

main ()
{
	return 0;
}

If it is compiled using 'cc -c -O junk.c', cpp says:

junk.c: 3: bad include syntax

Why is cpp trying to interpret the #include when the #ifdef is NOT true?
It doesn't complain about the 'junk junk' line, only the #include line!
