Correct. ISO C99 6.10 Preprocessing directives, Description:
A preprocessing directive consists of a sequence of
preprocessing tokens that begins with a # preprocessing token
that (at the start of translation phase 4) is either the first
character in the source file (optionally after white space
containing no new-line characters) or that follows white space
containing at least one new-line character, and is ended by
the next new-line character.129)
It's not even bug. Branden, are you OK to reassign this report to
X11, or to close it?
