Yes, the C pre-processor checks the syntax for input, but only the C pre-procesor directive syntax!
But here I mean exactly C code checking.

That's exactly what I mean! E.g.

antony at doce:~$ cat > test.c <<EOF;
int main()
{
#ifdef SOME_UNDEFINED_MACRO
        foo bar;
        фу бар;
#endif
	return 0;
}
EOF
antony at doce:~$ gcc test.c 
antony at doce:~$ ./a.out 
antony at doce:~$ ./a.out 
antony at doce:~$ echo $
0
