Description brownb 1999-06-25 23:21:21 UTC 
The following program will not compile when I use the "-O"
switch:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

int main()
{
	char *foo;

	foo = strdup("lslsjflsdjf"
#ifdef foobar
			"lskjflsjfl"
#endif
			"hello world");
}

Here is the compiler output I get:

egret [266]  egcs foo.c -o foo -O
foo.c:12: warning: preprocessing directive not recognized
within macro arg
foo.c:12: warning: preprocessing directive not recognized

This is a problem with glibc, not gcc so I'm changing the
component.

Most string functions are now implemented as preprocessor
macros. That means that the construct (from nmh, right :-)
is no longer valid. Change the scope of the ifdef to include
the strdup to fix.
