This software is also involved then. > A developer can run a compiler to check for parsing errors. I imagine that a missing line continuation can be hard to detect and report as a possible programming error because the corresponding code parts can still be valid on their own according to special circumstances. Can the semantic patch language help to insist for a search that a bit of source code belongs to the implementation of a function-like macro?
