It already does!! But, you have to be in "Text Mode Processing". See the

Depends on the patch and your assignment forms acceptance. A nice feature
would be to have an "Auto Mode Processing" such that \n, \r\n, or \r gets used
automatically based on the content of the file.

It already does even in binary mode, if gcc is configured with
--enable-cpplib. It seems that this gcc feature will be enabled by
default in the not-so-distant future.

What about files which are inconsistent, like the .texi files in the gcc source distribution, where there is a mixture of line termination types?

Hallo,
for those livin in a mixed Unix/Dos environment, the (bad) habbit of
Dos/Windows programs to replace LF with CR/LF has probably caused
grief before. Especially Macros going over several lines get unreadable.
Couldn't we make GCC swallow CR/LF?
Would such a patch have chances to get into the standard GCC?
