I have never looked at the source code to cpp.

But Warp is designed to be a drop-in replacement. It doesn't produce char-by-char exactly the same output as cpp, as the whitespace differs, and the decisions about when/where to produce linemarker records are different.

But the output is functionally identical (any differences are bugs in either Warp or cpp).




Interesting, I did not realize the standard left room for preprocessors to make implementation-defined decisions!


That fits well within my use of the term "reimplementation." I appreciate the specificity of your response, though - always best to answer every possible question when you're not sure which is meant.
