    That's not a comment.

    It's  a  mechanism  used  by  cpp (and other preprocessors as
    well) to tell cc1 (the real C compiler) in which  input  file
    and  line  number  it actual is compiling. If you remove this
    information, compiler error messages cannot tell you  anymore
    the "real" location of the error.
