Category: Inconsistency Committee Draft subsection: 6.8 Title: Add a description of the start symbol to the preprocessing grammar Detailed description: There is (still) no clear description of the grammar that a preprocessing file needs to obey. That is, the grammar is there but its applicability is not given. Add a new paragraph to 6.8 just before paragraph 5: As discussed in 5.1.1.1, the unit of program text before preprocessing (at the start of translation phase 4) is a preprocessing file. As shown in the grammar above, this consists of a sequence of conditional inclusion blocks, other preprocessing directives, and other text.
