I'm impressed that you managed to figure out how to change the
compiler to do what you want. But it is a shame that what you have
cannot be called C/C++ by any stretch of the imagination.

Please do not pollute the programming language with the bizarre
syntax based perl.

I do hope that no-one else thinks this is a good idea.
