Any developer sense on what it might take to extend the gcc preprocessor to do these ? I have some experience with gcc front end. I am especially keen abt multiline macros, so that the lines can be on separate lines. Any neat trick that can accomplish this by using #define ?
as was said in the answer, the intention is that the gcc preprocessor should provide what is required by the standard, nothing more, nothing less. If you want more, then follow the advice of looking at general purpose macro languages.
