I can't think of anything 'grep -v <pattern>' can do in this
situation that 'v/<patter>/d' can't, so here's one way to do this:

Yes, 'grep -v' in vim is easy. But how do you remove #ifdef blocks ?
I mentioned piping because there is ready utility, 'unifdef',
that removes some or all of  #if blocks.
