Since the GCC documentation explicitly documents that no whitespace is inserted
except when necessary, as noted by David in comment #3, removing the backslash
in your example,
int foo(){\
return 0;}
would be invalid, as there was no whitespace between { and return in the
original code, and there would be after removing the backslash. It would be
valid as far as the C and C++ standards are concerned, but invalid if you also
include the documented extensions of GCC.
Could you either not suggest that the current behaviour is a bug (even if it is
a minor one) in the FAQ, or change the documentation so that it is unspecified
what that code preprocesses to?
