Form-feed is allowed as whitespace in every C compiler I know of.
This usage is recognized in the ANSI draft C standard, which says
"Space characters, horizontal tabs, new-lines, vertical tabs, form
feeds, and comments (described below) -- collectively called
white space -- are ignored except as they serve to separate tokens."
