I don't see `#pragma` as being similar -- there is no sequence of preprocessed tokens to emit for a pragma, but there is for `#embed`. In fact, it is described specifically in terms of expansion (6.10.3p7): > The expansion of a #embed directive is a token sequence formed from the list > of integer constant expressions described below. The group of tokens for each integer constant expression in the list is separated in the token sequence from the group of tokens for the previous integer constant expression in the list by a comma. The sequence neither begins nor ends in a comma. If the list of integer constant expressions is empty, the token sequence is empty. The directive is replaced by its expansion and, with the presence of certain embed parameters, additional or replacement token sequences. So it's not so much that it's not actually true in the implementation details, it's that it's not actually true by specification either. https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/68620 _______________________________________________ cfe-commits mailing list cfe-commits@lists.llvm.org https://lists.llvm.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cfe-commits
