Interface Concatenation

All Superinterfaces:
Formation
public interface Concatenation extends Formation

A Concatenation represents the concatenation of a sequence of tokens.

There are two contexts in which concatenations occur. The first is with he preprocessor '##' operator. When used in the replacement sequence (body) of a macro definition, this is a binary operator that concatenates the tokens to its left and right to form a new token.

The second is with adjacent string literals, which are concatenated to form one large string literal in translation phase 7 (after preprocessing), as specified in the C11 Standard.
