Description of Problem:

| $ cat >foo.cc <<EOF
| // line 1 \ 
| // line 2
| EOF
| $ g++ -c -Wall foo.cc  ## with plain 'cpp' also
| foo.cc:1:1: warning: multi-line comment

(I do not know if bugzilla/HTML preserves the final whitespace in line 1, but it
ends with '\ ').

The C++ standard speaks only about "a new-line character and an immediately
preceding backslash" in chapter 2.1, and not about a NL character and a
backslash plus whitespaces. Therefore, I think the preprocessor and not the
program is wrong.
