[Transformers] Adjacent string literals

21 Jun 2004

      Olivier found out the following fact:

As stated in sections 2.1 and 2.13.4 of the C++ standard, adjacent
string literals must be concatenated during the translation phase.

const char* s = "bon" "jour." "\n";

is equivalent to:

const char* s = "bonjour.\n";

Here is the difference in the AST:
 StringLiteral(STRING-LITERAL("\"bon\" \"jour.\" \"\\n\""))
vs
 StringLiteral(STRING-LITERAL("\"bonjour.\\n\""))

Is it parse-cxx job to perform this concatenation, using a desugaring
filter?
