+/* A problem turned up with PCRE_PRERELEASE, which is defined empty for
+production releases. Originally, it was used naively in this code:
+
+  return XSTRING(PCRE_MAJOR)
+         "." XSTRING(PCRE_MINOR)
+             XSTRING(PCRE_PRERELEASE)
+         " " XSTRING(PCRE_DATE);
+
+However, when PCRE_PRERELEASE is empty, this leads to an attempted expansion of
+STRING(). The C standard states: "If (before argument substitution) any
+argument consists of no preprocessing tokens, the behavior is undefined." It
+turns out the gcc treats this case as a single empty string - which is what we
+really want - but Visual C grumbles about the lack of an argument for the
+macro. Unfortunately, both are within their rights. To cope with both ways of
+handling this, I had resort to some messy hackery that does a test at run time.
+I could find no way of detecting that a macro is defined as an empty string at
+pre-processor time. This hack uses a standard trick for avoiding calling
+the STRING macro with an empty argument when doing the test. */
