microsoft fixed their broken c preprocessor implementation just a few years ago

  They could have just asked me :-)

    They were deliberately leaving their C compiler broken because they considered C++ to be the replacement for C.
    • WalterBright 11mo ago
      C++ uses an identical preprocessor.

        That has sometimes been true, but for example C++ didn't have variadic macros, maybe still doesn't, because they were added to C after Microsoft decided to stop following C development. https://stackoverflow.com/a/21515839 https://stackoverflow.com/a/21515839 goes into details of other differences.
