macro processor

Macro processors became popular when programmers commonly used assembly language.

At its base, a shell is simply a macro processor that executes commands.

TeX is a macro processor, and offers its users a powerful programming capability.

This defined the usage range of macro processors.

Macro processors are often embedded in other programs, such as assemblers and compilers.

A macro processor (or a preprocessor) operates as a text-replacement tool.

Unlike some other macro processors, m4 is Turing-complete as well as a practical programming language.

M4 is an extension of an earlier macro processor m3, written by Ritchie for the AP-3 minicomputer.

Rosin credits MAD as the only previous example of a macro processor in a high-level language.

'm4' is a general purpose macro processor designed by Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie.

The SELinux Reference Policy relies heavily on the m4 macro processor.

The same thing happens if you use Alt-F9 within FOPS, the macro processor.

ML/1 (Macro Language/One) is a powerful general purpose macro processor.

A macro processor is a program that copies a stream of text from one place to another, making a systematic set of replacements as it does so.

The GNU/m4 macro processor is part of all linux distributions and is a standard among Unix users.

Console -GNU m4 is an implementation of the traditional UNIX macro processor.

Unlike most earlier macro processors, m4 does not target any particular computer or human language; historically, however, its development originated for supporting the Ratfor dialect of Fortran.

The MTS command macro processor allows users to define their own MTS commands.

All UNIXes make the m4 macro processor available, and POSIX has standardized it.

A macro processor, such as the C preprocessor, which replaces patterns in source code according to relatively simple rules, is a simple form of source code generator.

The command macro processor is controlled using the $SET command as well as by I/O modifiers on FDnames.

To avoid any possible ambiguity, users of macro processors can parenthesize formal parameters inside macro definitions, or callers can parenthesize the input parameters.

Fantasm provides a powerful macro processor allowing you to write your own instructions to simplify your code and to create complex data structures via looping and conditional constructs.

The language incorporated ideas from PL/I, ALGOL and XPL, and had an integrated macro processor.

Other lexical preprocessors include the general-purpose m4, most commonly used in cross-platform build systems such as autoconf, and GEMA, an open source macro processor which operates on patterns of context.
