I just went looking at the v6 source to confirm a memory, namely that cpp
was only invoked if a # was the first character in the file. Hence, this:
https://github.com/dspinellis/unix-history-repo/blob/Research-V6-Snapshot-Development/usr/source/c/c01.c#L1
People occasionally forgot this, and hilarity ensued.
Now I'm curious. Anyone know when that convention ended?
