Normally the preprocessor strips comments.  With some old preprocessors not
implementing the ## operator the same effect can be achieved with
  #define paste(a,b) a/* */b

GCC has an option to preserve comments through the preprocessor.  This is
useful when examining preprocessor output manually (using the -E option).
