64 /* A problem turned up with PCRE_PRERELEASE, which is defined empty for
65 production releases. Originally, it was used naively in this code:
66 
67  return XSTRING(PCRE_MAJOR)
68  "." XSTRING(PCRE_MINOR)
69  XSTRING(PCRE_PRERELEASE)
70  " " XSTRING(PCRE_DATE);
71 
72 However, when PCRE_PRERELEASE is empty, this leads to an attempted expansion of
73 STRING(). The C standard states: "If (before argument substitution) any
74 argument consists of no preprocessing tokens, the behavior is undefined." It
75 turns out the gcc treats this case as a single empty string - which is what we
76 really want - but Visual C grumbles about the lack of an argument for the
77 macro. Unfortunately, both are within their rights. To cope with both ways of
78 handling this, I had resort to some messy hackery that does a test at run time.
79 I could find no way of detecting that a macro is defined as an empty string at
80 pre-processor time. This hack uses a standard trick for avoiding calling
81 the STRING macro with an empty argument when doing the test. */
