[Zope] Backslash as line continuation in C (Unix)

[Hung Jung Lu]

Hi,

This is a Unix C question. But since I am doing something that ultimately 
results in a Zope product, I might as well ask the question here. :)

I am trying to build a third-party utility in Linux. I ran into troubles in 
the compilation process because of the usage of backslash \ as line 
continuation. (This is used in #def preprocessor macro statements.) When I 
remove the backslashes and join the lines, it compiles fine. (I know 
backslashes are fine in Windows Visual C++.)

Does anyone know any other better solution than go into the code and 
explicitly remove the backslashes? Is there any gcc option that recognizes 
backslashes are line-joining characters? Or is there another character used 
in gcc for joining lines? Any other suggestions?

regards,

Hung Jung
