That sample code isn't even valid... mismatched endifs which I know are illegal, and use of expressions within ifndef which I think is wrong too.

I'd also have liked to see quickly whether it picks up lines like:

#if defined(NDEBUG)

#endif

The limited flexibility of #ifdef/#ifndef means that "#(el)if defined" gets used a lot (ok, you can do some magic to get boolean combinations using only #ifdef/#else/#endif and #define, but defined() is so much nicer).

Ben - it _does_ pick up tokens used in #if defined, and #elif.

It does not enforce that the #endifs are well balanced.
