Hi, consider the following C code that tries to compose literals that
use gcc's P extension:
#define VAL1(X, SUFFIX) \
X##SUFFIX
int x1 = VAL1 (0x123, P-2u);
#define VAL2(X, SUFFIX) \
X##P-2##SUFFIX
int x2 = VAL2 (0x123, u);
Compiling this runs into "error: exponent has no digits" error because
cpp introduces a bad blank before the minus (same with +).
cpp expands the code to (with -P -g3):
#define VAL1(X,SUFFIX) X ##SUFFIX
int x1 = 0x123P -2u;
#define VAL2(X,SUFFIX) X ##P-2 ##SUFFIX
int x2 = 0x123P -2u;
Is this a bug or a feature?

Feature, try this:
#define VAL2_(X, SUFFIX) \
X##-##SUFFIX
#define VAL2(X, SUFFIX) \
VAL2_(X##P, 2##SUFFIX)
