It's a gcc extension so^H^Hfor compatibility with some old Unix

You mean you want to omit \n and the quotes?
That was always invalid
in both C and C++.
Makes me wonder how come it used to compile cleanly then. Now please
don't tell me "it's a gcc extension so it is evil" because __asm__ is already kissing portability
goodbye.
This issue is at a lower level, i.e., how to parse string literals.
