compiler problems with embedded files as char array

Question

I'm trying to embed a file (OpenCL kernel) as char array the main problem is that it gives me errors for any line containing #

example:

char mykernel[] =
"stuff ---"
"#if(1)"
"    stuff"
"#else"
"    another stuff"
"#define ASD 15";

void* clh = clsopen(cp,mykernel,CLLD_NOW);

all these things are giving me bad errors (compiler errors as if it can't see them)

Edit: semicolon was a mistake in posting question.

Errors are like:

#define ASD 15

use this ASD in the whole code, get errors like undeclared identifier

use #if #else

use some function in #if and same name in #else

get errors like the function is declared 2 times with the same name...and so on

edit2:

"#if(1)" //char number 26123: error: note: previous definition is here
"    inline functionA ...with output A"
"#else" //char number 28700: error: redefinition of functionA
"    inline functionA ...with output B"

There's a missing semicolon. It would help if we knew what the error was. — Qaz

All of the lines starting with # are also lines that start without any leading whitespace. The problem is that in a natural source file, each line will end with \n which the compiler treats as whitespace. Add the \n to the end of every line.
