Does Directive 5.7.2 apply to #elif directives? - rg99 - 30-09-2024

Is the following intended to be compliant with 5.7.2?

Code:
#if 1

/* some code */

#elif 0

/* some code */

#endif

Presumably this is just as offensive to the spirit of 5.7.2 as #if 0 is but an official position would be appreciated as the Directive only actually mentions #if.

You're right, it is equally bad.

We may have been too explicit in the description by saying "#if 0". In the next version this may be replaced by something more general, such as "The preprocessor shall also not be used to 'comment out' code"
