ExtUtils::ParseXS: Rmv impediment to compiling under C++11

Programming / Compilers / PERL - Karl Williamson [cpan.org] - 19 November 2016 15:07 UTC

C++11 changed from earlier versions to require space between the end of a string literal and a macro, so that a feature can unambiguously be added to the language. Starting in g++ 6.2, the compiler emits a deprecation warning when there isn't a space (presumably so that future
versions can support C++11).

Although not required by the C++11 change, this patch also makes sure there is space after a macro call, before a string literal. This makes the macro stand out, and is easier to read.

Code and modules included with the Perl core need to be compilable using C++. This is so that perl can be embedded in C++ programs. (Actually, only the hdr files need to be so compilable, but it would be hard to test that just the hdrs are compilable.) So we need to accommodate changes to the C++ language.
