The only compiler I know of that does it wrong allways is the very expensive IBM ANSI compiler. The standard allows #define foo(a) ((a)-1) to be equal to # define foo(a) ((a)-1) #define foo(a) ((a)-1) # define foor(a) ((a)-1) None of those are actually reliably the same with IBM Many precompiles mis-parse #define foo(a) ((a)-1) when "a" has been defined before some precompilers allow #define foo (a) ((a)-1) to be the same.
