#38 string constant concatenation not recognized

[Anonymous]

A line, such as:
const char* _build = __DATE__ " " __TIME__;

generates Error report:
./version.cpp(5): syntax error at token "
./version.cpp(5): trying to match instance_declaration
at 'const'

Actually, "string constant concatenation" is handled by cccc -
when it can recognize it as such. Remember - cccc works on
_"un-preprocessed"_ input, and thus sees __DATE__ and
__TIME__ as identifiers - making this an [apparently] illegal
construct.

A suggested work-around for this would be something like :

#define __DATE_TIME__ __DATE__ " " __TIME__
const char* _buildx = __DATE_TIME__;

...thus resolving it within the preprocessor for the compiler,
and "hiding" the "apparent syntax error" from cccc.
