Cygwin 1.1.3-1 (g++) parser not sure how to deal with continuation '\'

Mon Jul 31 17:52:00 GMT 2000

Hi folks,
Ok...looked through the archives and couldn't find any reference 
to this error.
info:
	This is NT4 box.
	Used latest setup.exe to install/update to 1.1.3-1
 From cygcheck -s:
	MAKE_MODE="unix"
	d:\cygwin\bin /usr/bin user binmode
	d:\cygwin\lib /usr/lib user binmode
	d:\cygwin / user binmode
Apparent error:
	header file is being parsed incorrectly by g++.
Error Reproducible?
	Yes, this is reproducible.
	When g++ detects '\' in a header file, it is unable to parse it 
except as "stray '\' in program".
	When '\' removed from header, the problem disappears.
 Example:
a) 
#define D3DRGB(r, g, b) \
	(0xff000000L | ( ((long)((r) * 255)) << 16) | (((long)((g) * 255)) << 8) | (long)((b) * 255))
	fails ("stray '\' in program").
b)
#define D3DRGB(r, g, b) (0xff000000L | ( ((long)((r) * 255)) << 16) | (((long)((g) * 255)) << 8) | (long)((b) * 255))
 
	works.
	Peace,
		Paul G.
