Which compilers will be affected?

Right now these compilers are considered by PP to not support variadic macros:

gccxml nvcc when cuda is being used PathScale Digital Mars and Symantec C++ bcc32 metrowerks sun/oracle C++ < version 5.12 ( current oracle C++ version is 12.6 ) HP aC++ when not using EDG MPW C++ PGI when not using EDG This doesn't sound that bad, as most of these compilers are dead, although I hope nvcc does support variadic macros nowadays.

I did discover that if gcc or clang is compiled at the C++03 level with -pedantic there will be a ton of warnings, and if with -pedantic-errros there will be a ton of errors for those warnings.

Don’t warning disabling pragmas *around preprocessor definitions* solve the issue?

They could but I would have to know when it is gcc or clang and when it is at the C+03 level. Compilers, including gcc, are notorious for not setting __cplusplus correctly, to determine C++03, and lots of compilers define __clang__ or __gnuc__. But you are theoretically correct and I will look at that.
