It is +called a macro processor because it allows you to define \fImacros\fR, +which are brief abbreviations for longer constructs. +.PP +The C preprocessor provides four separate facilities that you can use as +you see fit: +.Ip "\(bu" 4 +Inclusion of header files. These are files of declarations that can be +substituted into your program. +.Ip "\(bu" 4 +Macro expansion. You can define \fImacros\fR, which are abbreviations +for arbitrary fragments of C code, and then the C preprocessor will +replace the macros with their definitions throughout the program. +.Ip "\(bu" 4 +Conditional compilation. Using special preprocessing directives, you +can include or exclude parts of the program according to various +conditions. +.Ip "\(bu" 4 +Line control. If you use a program to combine or rearrange source files into +an intermediate file which is then compiled, you can use line control +to inform the compiler of where each source line originally came from. +.PP +C preprocessors vary in some details. This manual discusses the \s-1GNU\s0 C +preprocessor, the C Compatible Compiler Preprocessor. The \s-1GNU\s0 C +preprocessor provides a superset of the features of \s-1ANSI\s0 Standard C. +.PP +\s-1ANSI\s0 Standard C requires the rejection of many harmless constructs commonly +used by today's C programs. Such incompatibility would be inconvenient for +users, so the \s-1GNU\s0 C preprocessor is configured to accept these constructs +by default. Strictly speaking, to get \s-1ANSI\s0 Standard C, you must use the +options \fB\-trigraphs\fR, \fB\-undef\fR and \fB\-pedantic\fR, but in +practice the consequences of having strict \s-1ANSI\s0 Standard C make it +undesirable to do this. +.PP +The C preprocessor is designed for C\-like languages; you may run into +problems if you apply it to other kinds of languages, because it assumes +that it is dealing with C. For example, the C preprocessor sometimes +outputs extra white space to avoid inadvertent C token concatenation, +and this may cause problems with other languages. +.SH "OPTIONS" +The C preprocessor expects two file names as arguments, \fIinfile\fR and +\fIoutfile\fR. The preprocessor reads \fIinfile\fR together with any other +files it specifies with \fB#include\fR. All the output generated by the +combined input files is written in \fIoutfile\fR. +.PP +Either \fIinfile\fR or \fIoutfile\fR may be \fB\-\fR, which as +\fIinfile\fR means to read from standard input and as \fIoutfile\fR +means to write to standard output. Also, if either file is omitted, it +means the same as if \fB\-\fR had been specified for that file. +.PP +Here is a table of command options accepted by the C preprocessor. +These options can also be given when compiling a C program; they are +passed along automatically to the preprocessor when it is invoked by the +compiler. +.Ip "\fB\-P\fR" 4 +Inhibit generation of \fB#\fR\-lines with line-number information in +the output from the preprocessor This might be +useful when running the preprocessor on something that is not C code +and will be sent to a program which might be confused by the +\fB#\fR\-lines. +.Ip "\fB\-C\fR" 4 +Do not discard comments: pass them through to the output file. +Comments appearing in arguments of a macro call will be copied to the +output before the expansion of the macro call. +.Ip "\fB\-traditional\fR" 4 +Try to imitate the behavior of old-fashioned C, as opposed to \s-1ANSI\s0 C. +.Ip "\(bu" 8 +Traditional macro expansion pays no attention to singlequote or +doublequote characters; macro argument symbols are replaced by the +argument values even when they appear within apparent string or +character constants. +.Ip "\(bu" 8 +Traditionally, it is permissible for a macro expansion to end in the +middle of a string or character constant. The constant continues into +the text surrounding the macro call. +.Ip "\(bu" 8 +However, traditionally the end of the line terminates a string or +character constant, with no error. +.Ip "\(bu" 8 +In traditional C, a comment is equivalent to no text at all. (In \s-1ANSI\s0 +C, a comment counts as whitespace.) +.Ip "\(bu" 8 +Traditional C does not have the concept of a ``preprocessing number'\*(R'. +It considers \fB1.0e+4\fR to be three tokens: \fB1.0e\fR, \fB+\fR, +and \fB4\fR. +.Ip "\(bu" 8 +A macro is not suppressed within its own definition, in traditional C. +Thus, any macro that is used recursively inevitably causes an error. +.Ip "\(bu" 8 +The character \fB#\fR has no special meaning within a macro definition +in traditional C. +.Ip "\(bu" 8 +In traditional C, the text at the end of a macro expansion can run +together with the text after the macro call, to produce a single token. +(This is impossible in \s-1ANSI\s0 C.) +.Ip "\(bu" 8 +Traditionally, \fB\e\fR inside a macro argument suppresses the syntactic +significance of the following character. +.Sp +Use the \fB\-traditional\fR option when preprocessing Fortran code, +so that singlequotes and doublequotes +within Fortran comment lines +(which are generally not recognized as such by the preprocessor) +do not cause diagnostics +about unterminated character or string constants. +.Sp +However, this option does not prevent diagnostics +about unterminated comments +when a C\-style comment appears to start, but not end, +within Fortran-style commentary. +.Sp +So, the following Fortran comment lines are accepted with +\fB\-traditional\fR: +.Sp +.Vb 3 +\& C This isn't an unterminated character constant +\& C Neither is "20000000000, an octal constant +\& C in some dialects of Fortran +.Ve +However, this type of comment line will likely produce a diagnostic, +or at least unexpected output from the preprocessor, +due to the unterminated comment: +.Sp +.Vb 2 +\& C Some Fortran compilers accept /* as starting +\& C an inline comment. +.Ve +Note that \f(CWg77\fR automatically supplies +the \fB\-traditional\fR option +when it invokes the preprocessor. +However, a future version of \f(CWg77\fR +might use a different, more-Fortran-aware preprocessor +in place of \f(CWcpp\fR. +.Ip "\fB\-trigraphs\fR" 4 +Process \s-1ANSI\s0 standard trigraph sequences. These are three-character +sequences, all starting with \fB??\fR, that are defined by \s-1ANSI\s0 C to +stand for single characters. For example, \fB??/\fR stands for +\fB\e\fR, so \fB\*(R'??/n\*(R'\fR is a character constant for a newline. +Strictly speaking, the \s-1GNU\s0 C preprocessor does not support all +programs in \s-1ANSI\s0 Standard C unless \fB\-trigraphs\fR is used, but if +you ever notice the difference it will be with relief. +.Sp +You don't want to know any more about trigraphs. +.Ip "\fB\-pedantic\fR" 4 +Issue warnings required by the \s-1ANSI\s0 C standard in certain cases such +as when text other than a comment follows \fB#else\fR or \fB#endif\fR. +.Ip "\fB\-pedantic-errors\fR" 4 +Like \fB\-pedantic\fR, except that errors are produced rather than +warnings. +.Ip "\fB\-Wtrigraphs\fR" 4 +Warn if any trigraphs are encountered. Currently this only works if you +have turned trigraphs on with \fB\-trigraphs\fR or \fB\-ansi\fR; in the +future this restriction will be removed. +.Ip "\fB\-Wcomment\fR" 4 +Warn whenever a comment-start sequence \fB/*\fR appears in a \fB/*\fR +comment, or whenever a Backslash-Newline appears in a \fB//\fR comment. +.Ip "\fB\-Wall\fR" 4 +Requests both \fB\-Wtrigraphs\fR and \fB\-Wcomment\fR (but not +\fB\-Wtraditional\fR or \fB\-Wundef\fR). +.Ip "\fB\-Wtraditional\fR" 4 +Warn about certain constructs that behave differently in traditional and +\s-1ANSI\s0 C. +.Ip "\fB\-Wundef\fR" 4 +Warn if an undefined identifier is evaluated in an \fB#if\fR directive. +.Ip "\fB\-I \fIdirectory\fR\fR" 4 +Add the directory \fIdirectory\fR to the head of the list of +directories to be searched for header files +This can be used to override a system header file, substituting your +own version, since these directories are searched before the system +header file directories. If you use more than one \fB\-I\fR option, +the directories are scanned in left-to-right order; the standard +system directories come after. +.Ip "\fB\-I-\fR" 4 +Any directories specified with \fB\-I\fR options before the \fB\-I-\fR +option are searched only for the case of \fB#include \*(L"\fIfile\fB\*(R"\fR; +they are not searched for \fB#include <\fIfile\fB>\fR. +.Sp +If additional directories are specified with \fB\-I\fR options after +the \fB\-I-\fR, these directories are searched for all \fB#include\fR +directives. +.Sp +In addition, the \fB\-I-\fR option inhibits the use of the current +directory as the first search directory for \fB#include \*(L"\fIfile\fB\*(R"\fR. +Therefore, the current directory is searched only if it is requested +explicitly with \fB\-I.\fR. Specifying both \fB\-I-\fR and \fB\-I.\fR +allows you to control precisely which directories are searched before +the current one and which are searched after. +.Ip "\fB\-nostdinc\fR" 4 +Do not search the standard system directories for header files. +Only the directories you have specified with \fB\-I\fR options +(and the current directory, if appropriate) are searched. +.Ip "\fB\-nostdinc++\fR" 4 +Do not search for header files in the \*(C+\-specific standard directories, +but do still search the other standard directories. +(This option is used when building the \*(C+ library.) +.Ip "\fB\-remap\fR" 4 +When searching for a header file in a directory, remap file names if a +file named \fIheader.gcc\fR exists in that directory. This can be used +to work around limitations of file systems with file name restrictions. +The \fIheader.gcc\fR file should contain a series of lines with two +tokens on each line: the first token is the name to map, and the second +token is the actual name to use. +.Ip "\fB\-D \fIname\fR\fR" 4 +Predefine \fIname\fR as a macro, with definition \fB1\fR. +.Ip "\fB\-D \fIname\fR=\fIdefinition\fR\fR" 4 +Predefine \fIname\fR as a macro, with definition \fIdefinition\fR. +There are no restrictions on the contents of \fIdefinition\fR, but if +you are invoking the preprocessor from a shell or shell-like program you +may need to use the shell's quoting syntax to protect characters such as +spaces that have a meaning in the shell syntax. If you use more than +one \fB\-D\fR for the same \fIname\fR, the rightmost definition takes +effect. +.Ip "\fB\-U \fIname\fR\fR" 4 +Do not predefine \fIname\fR. If both \fB\-U\fR and \fB\-D\fR are +specified for one name, whichever one appears later on the command line +wins. +.Ip "\fB\-undef\fR" 4 +Do not predefine any nonstandard macros. +.Ip "\fB\-gcc\fR" 4 +Define the macros \fI_\|_GNUC_\|_\fR and \fI_\|_GNUC_MINOR_\|_\fR. These are +defined automatically when you use \fBgcc \-E\fR; you can turn them off +in that case with \fB\-no-gcc\fR. +.Ip "\fB\-A \fIpredicate\fR(\fIanswer\fR)\fR" 4 +Make an assertion with the predicate \fIpredicate\fR and answer +\fIanswer\fR. +.Sp +You can use \fB\-A-\fR to disable all predefined assertions; it also +undefines all predefined macros and all macros that preceded it on the +command line. +.Ip "\fB\-dM\fR" 4 +Instead of outputting the result of preprocessing, output a list of +\fB#define\fR directives for all the macros defined during the +execution of the preprocessor, including predefined macros. This gives +you a way of finding out what is predefined in your version of the +preprocessor; assuming you have no file \fBfoo.h\fR, the command +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& touch foo.h; cpp -dM foo.h +.Ve +will show the values of any predefined macros. +.Ip "\fB\-dD\fR" 4 +Like \fB\-dM\fR except in two respects: it does \fInot\fR include the +predefined macros, and it outputs \fIboth\fR the \fB#define\fR +directives and the result of preprocessing. Both kinds of output go to +the standard output file. +.Ip "\fB\-dI\fR" 4 +Output \fB#include\fR directives in addition to the result of preprocessing. +.Ip "\fB\-M [\-\s-1MG\s0]\fR" 4 +Instead of outputting the result of preprocessing, output a rule +suitable for \f(CWmake\fR describing the dependencies of the main +source file. The preprocessor outputs one \f(CWmake\fR rule containing +the object file name for that source file, a colon, and the names of +all the included files. If there are many included files then the +rule is split into several lines using \fB\e\fR\-newline. +.Sp +\fB\-\s-1MG\s0\fR says to treat missing header files as generated files and assume +they live in the same directory as the source file. It must be specified +in addition to \fB\-M\fR. +.Sp +This feature is used in automatic updating of makefiles. +.Ip "\fB\-\s-1MM\s0 [\-\s-1MG\s0]\fR" 4 +Like \fB\-M\fR but mention only the files included with \fB#include +\*(L"\fIfile\fR\*(R"\fR. System header files included with \fB#include +<\fIfile\fR>\fR are omitted. +.Ip "\fB\-\s-1MD\s0 \fIfile\fR\fR" 4 +Like \fB\-M\fR but the dependency information is written to \fIfile\fR. +This is in addition to compiling the file as specified---\fB\-\s-1MD\s0\fR does +not inhibit ordinary compilation the way \fB\-M\fR does. +.Sp +When invoking \f(CWgcc\fR, do not specify the \fIfile\fR argument. +\f(CWgcc\fR will create file names made by replacing \*(L".c\*(R" with \*(L".d\*(R" at +the end of the input file names. +.Sp +In Mach, you can use the utility \f(CWmd\fR to merge multiple dependency +files into a single dependency file suitable for using with the \fBmake\fR +command. +.Ip "\fB\-\s-1MMD\s0 \fIfile\fR\fR" 4 +Like \fB\-\s-1MD\s0\fR except mention only user header files, not system +header files. +.Ip "\fB\-H\fR" 4 +Print the name of each header file used, in addition to other normal +activities. +.Ip "\fB\-imacros \fIfile\fR\fR" 4 +Process \fIfile\fR as input, discarding the resulting output, before +processing the regular input file. Because the output generated from +\fIfile\fR is discarded, the only effect of \fB\-imacros \fIfile\fR\fR +is to make the macros defined in \fIfile\fR available for use in the +main input. +.Ip "\fB\-include \fIfile\fR\fR" 4 +Process \fIfile\fR as input, and include all the resulting output, +before processing the regular input file. +.Ip "\fB\-idirafter \fIdir\fR\fR" 4 +Add the directory \fIdir\fR to the second include path. The directories +on the second include path are searched when a header file is not found +in any of the directories in the main include path (the one that +\fB\-I\fR adds to). +.Ip "\fB\-iprefix \fIprefix\fR\fR" 4 +Specify \fIprefix\fR as the prefix for subsequent \fB\-iwithprefix\fR +options. +.Ip "\fB\-iwithprefix \fIdir\fR\fR" 4 +Add a directory to the second include path. The directory's name is +made by concatenating \fIprefix\fR and \fIdir\fR, where \fIprefix\fR +was specified previously with \fB\-iprefix\fR. +.Ip "\fB\-isystem \fIdir\fR\fR" 4 +Add a directory to the beginning of the second include path, marking it +as a system directory, so that it gets the same special treatment as +is applied to the standard system directories. +.Ip "\fB\-x c\fR" 4 +.Ip "\fB\-x c++\fR" 4 +.Ip "\fB\-x objective-c\fR" 4 +.Ip "\fB\-x assembler-with-cpp\fR" 4 +Specify the source language: C, \*(C+, Objective-C, or assembly. This has +nothing to do with standards conformance or extensions; it merely +selects which base syntax to expect. If you give none of these options, +cpp will deduce the language from the extension of the source file: +\&\fB.c\fR, \fB.cc\fR, \fB.m\fR, or \fB.S\fR. Some other common +extensions for \*(C+ and assembly are also recognized. If cpp does not +recognize the extension, it will treat the file as C; this is the most +generic mode. +.Sp +\fBNote:\fR Previous versions of cpp accepted a \fB\-lang\fR option +which selected both the language and the standards conformance level. +This option has been removed, because it conflicts with the \fB\-l\fR +option. +.Ip "\fB\-std=\fIstandard\fR\fR" 4 +.Ip "\fB\-ansi\fR" 4 +Specify the standard to which the code should conform. Currently cpp +only knows about the standards for C; other language standards will be +added in the future. +.Sp +\fIstandard\fR +may be one of: +.Ip "\f(CWiso9899:1990\fR" 8 +The \s-1ISO\s0 C standard from 1990. +.Ip "\f(CWiso9899:199409\fR" 8 +.Ip "\f(CWc89\fR" 8 +The 1990 C standard, as amended in 1994. \fBc89\fR is the customary +shorthand for this version of the standard. +.Sp +The \fB\-ansi\fR option is equivalent to \fB\-std=c89\fR. +.Ip "\f(CWiso9899:199x\fR" 8 +.Ip "\f(CWc9x\fR" 8 +The revised \s-1ISO\s0 C standard, which is expected to be promulgated some +time in 1999. It has not been approved yet, hence the \fBx\fR. +.Ip "\f(CWgnu89\fR" 8 +The 1990 C standard plus \s-1GNU\s0 extensions. This is the default. +.Ip "\f(CWgnu9x\fR" 8 +The 199x C standard plus \s-1GNU\s0 extensions. +.Ip "\fB\-Wp,\-lint\fR" 4 +Look for commands to the program checker \f(CWlint\fR embedded in +comments, and emit them preceded by \fB#pragma lint\fR.
