1718. Macro invocation spanning end-of-file

Section: 15.6  [cpp.replace]     Status: drafting     Submitter: David Krauss     Date: 2013-07-23     Liaison: WG14

Although it seems to be common implementation practice to reject a macro invocation that begins in a header file and whose closing right parenthesis appears in the file that included it, there does not seem to be a prohibition of this case in the specification of function-style macros. Should this be accepted?

Notes from the February, 2014 meeting:

CWG agreed that macro invocations spanning file boundaries should be prohibited. Resolution of this issue should be coordinated with WG14.
