00066 /* A problem turned up with PCRE_PRERELEASE, which is defined empty for
00067 production releases. Originally, it was used naively in this code:
00068 
00069   return XSTRING(PCRE_MAJOR)
00070          "." XSTRING(PCRE_MINOR)
00071              XSTRING(PCRE_PRERELEASE)
00072          " " XSTRING(PCRE_DATE);
00073 
00074 However, when PCRE_PRERELEASE is empty, this leads to an attempted expansion of
00075 STRING(). The C standard states: "If (before argument substitution) any
00076 argument consists of no preprocessing tokens, the behavior is undefined." It
00077 turns out the gcc treats this case as a single empty string - which is what we
00078 really want - but Visual C grumbles about the lack of an argument for the
00079 macro. Unfortunately, both are within their rights. To cope with both ways of
00080 handling this, I had resort to some messy hackery that does a test at run time.
00081 I could find no way of detecting that a macro is defined as an empty string at
00082 pre-processor time. This hack uses a standard trick for avoiding calling
00083 the STRING macro with an empty argument when doing the test. */
