Package: xbase-clients
Version: 1:7.0.0-2
Severity: important


---------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: 
characters in a .Xdefaults file, when processed by cpp, ARE NOT 
SYNTACTIC TOKENS, hence the NEED for the -traditional switch 
---------------------------------------------------------------

i have cpp's macros in my .Xdefaults file, lots of those macros are now 
broken, as cpp is no more invoked with the -traditional switch

in particular, concatenation breaks horribly when one try to build XLFD 
font descriptions, as the "-" characters are no more mere characters, 
but were implicitly promoted to the status of syntactic tokens, so that
it's very difficult, at least to me, to get proper concatenation as in
the following example

% cpp
#define bbb aaa ## 12
#define ccc aaa ## -12
bbb
ccc
# 1 "<stdin>"
# 1 "<built-in>"
# 1 "<command line>"
# 1 "<stdin>"


aaa12
<stdin>:4:1: error: pasting "aaa" and "-" does not give a valid 
preprocessing token
aaa -12

Closing this bug since I didn't get any reply from the submitter (or
repliers) after my ping about a month ago (and some addresses are even
invalid nowadays). If anybody ever reproduces this problem, feel free to
reopen.
