Even **if** that 2004 course mentions GCC as a specific example, GCC has change a lot in the past 8 years and many of the things no longer apply, or apply only to MIPS in-house compiler.

Why even bother?
You don't publish re-usable, maintainable, code, just code that you can brag about how clever you where in eliminating whitespace.
That makes it a big waste of your very important time and a waste of time for anyone who tries to read it, learn from it, re-use it, or maintain it.
And please don't start a flame war over whitespace character counts, that is not the point.
The point is that computer programs are written in a Language, and Languages are intended to communicate among people.
Any computer program parser (other than a person) is very, very good at tossing out whitespace and comments. Those are only included when trying to communicate among people.
Which you clearly demonstrate is not the intent of your publications.
