It is correct, both in C as well as in C++. A preprocessor statement must start with a '#' character at the start of the line, but it is not mandatory for the actual preprocessor statement to follow that '#' character immediately. Space indents like this one are commonly used to clearly structure nested preprocessor statement blocks, i.e. #if foo # if bla # define something 0 # else # define something 1 # endif #else # if bla # define something 2 # else # define something 3 # endif #endif is better for the eye than: #if foo #if bla #define something 0 #else #define something 1 #endif #else #if bla #define something 2 #else #define something 3 #endif #endif This comes especially handy if somebody accidentally breaks the structure when the software evolves. The indents allow to recover the structure easily.
