@section Miscellaneous Preprocessing Directives
@cindex null directive
This section describes three additional preprocessing directives. They
are not very useful, but are mentioned for completeness.
The @dfn{null directive} consists of a @samp{#} followed by a newline,
with only whitespace (including comments) in between. A null directive
is understood as a preprocessing directive but has no effect on the
preprocessor output. The primary significance of the existence of the
null directive is that an input line consisting of just a @samp{#} will
produce no output, rather than a line of output containing just a
@samp{#}. Supposedly some old C programs contain such lines.
This section describes some additional, rarely used, preprocessing
directives.

@findex #ident
The @samp{#ident} directive is supported for compatibility with certain
other systems. It is followed by a line of text. On some systems, the
text is copied into a special place in the object file; on most systems,
the text is ignored and this directive has no effect. Typically
@samp{#ident} is only used in header files supplied with those systems
where it is meaningful.

@findex _Pragma
The C99 standard also introduces the @samp{_Pragma} operator. The
syntax is @code{_Pragma (string-literal)}, where @samp{string-literal}
can be either a normal or wide-character string literal. It is
destringized, by replacing all @samp{\\} with a single @samp{\} and all
@samp{\"} with a @samp{"}. The result is then processed as if it had
appeared as the right hand side of a @samp{#pragma} directive. For
example,
@smallexample
_Pragma ("GCC dependency \"parse.y\"")
@end smallexample
@noindent has the same effect as @samp{#pragma GCC dependency
"parse.y"}. The same effect could be achieved using macros, for example
@smallexample
#define DO_PRAGMA(x) _Pragma (#x)
DO_PRAGMA (GCC dependency "parse.y")
@end smallexample
The standard is unclear on where a @samp{_Pragma} operator can appear.
The preprocessor accepts it even within a preprocessing conditional
directive like @samp{#if}. To be safe, you are probably best keeping it
out of directives other than @samp{#define}, and putting it on a line of
its own.
