preprocessor

It is implemented on top of the C preprocessor and make.

Because types are not known to the C preprocessor, cannot be used in expressions.

The name may represent a call to a preprocessor procedure (macro).

A difficult problem to address in C++ is "unstructured preprocessor directives".

This causes the value to be stored in memory, instead of being substituted by the preprocessor.

The output from the preprocessor is then compiled by the host compiler.

When run through the C preprocessor, the following code is generated:

Preprocessor statements are imbedded in and operate on input text.

These values are passed to both the preprocessor and the embedded post-processing code.

Input files can also be prepared with the aid of a graphical preprocessor.

In C and C++, the language supports a simple macro preprocessor.

The system also includes a meteorological data input preprocessor.

In order to allow users to adapt system's input to their own needs a special "preprocessor" component is provided.

IBM has continued to add preprocessor features to its compilers.

Currently there is a single preprocessor that delivers debugger functionality.

The Tutor command was very similar to the C preprocessor directive.

If the configuration uses post-processing, then the user must supply an external preprocessor.

One of the most common uses of the preprocessor is to include another file:

The C preprocessor is a powerful tool that can bring clarity to the code or on the contrary, obscure it.

But when the preprocessor replace the calls of the macros, we obtain:

The preprocessor did not understand all of the language and much of the code was written via translations.

The preprocessor also has access to symbol information and compiler settings, such as the language dialect.

For example, using the C preprocessor, one might define a macro as follows:

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

The preprocessor replaces the line with the text of the file 'stdio.
