No, preprocessor symbols are removed before C++ syntax is parsed, and need
no mangling since they are not overloaded, etc. (or even included in
object file output.)

I've heard that the double underscore in identifiers
is reserved for the implementators (compiler/libs etc).

I've never read or been told so:
Are preprocessor definitions "identifiers" ??

i.e. is:

#define LEGAL__ANSI

legal (=>portable) within applications ?

TIA,
