Shifting to column 1 was appropriate if it was necessary to support legacy preprocessors (which was probably important in the past). If we can now rely on preprocessors to follow the standard, then I agree with you. > Just removing the feature seems the right thing to do here. Sounds right, but before we do let's do a quick sanity check. We know that the GNU preprocessors, the MSFT preprocessor, and the XCode preprocessor all handle not-in-column-one correctly. Are there any *other* (potentially non-compliant) preprocessors that people are targeting from Qt that we may need to think about here? Jonathan
