for reasons a little complicated to explain here, i'm running .c source files through the pre-processor (using the compiler's -ppl option) and then subsequently passing the pre-processed sources to the compiler at later point in time.... as it turns out, the output of running the pre-processor is itself legal C that can be input to the compiler....
the problem is the _Pragma operator, which results in no output when passed through the pre-processor; had it simply output the corresponding #pragma directive, the output would remain legal C and no information would be lost. had i, for instance, actually used a #pragma directive in my original sources, the pre-processor would simply pass this through to the next phase.... but clearly, i'm using _Pragma for the very reasons the operator was introduced in the first place -- to enable generation of #pragma directives in the pre-processor!!
is there some way to use _Pragma in my original .c source, and effectively preserve this information after running the pre-processor???
