The semantics of text-line and non-directive are not specified in the C99 Standard.
Question
Are text-line and non-directive implementation-defined ?
Comment from WG14 on 2001-09-18:
The standard is correct, but provide the following words with the response, and include them in the Rationale document:
Neither text-line nor non-directive is implementation defined. They are strictly defined as sequences of pp-tokens followed by new-line. Each of these rules represents a placeholder for an intermediate state in the phases of translation, and is expressed as a non-terminal since it has no associated semantics at this phase.
However, these sequences of pp-tokens are still subject to normal processing in the subsequent phases of translation.
