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 is intended to be used only with C and \*(C+ source +code. In the past, it has been abused as a general text processor. It +will choke on input which does not obey C's lexical rules. For +example, apostrophes will be interpreted as the beginning of character +constants, and cause errors. Also, you cannot rely on it preserving +characteristics of the input which are not significant to C\-family +languages. If a Makefile is preprocessed, all the hard tabs will be +removed, and the Makefile will not work. +.PP +Having said that, you can often get away with using cpp on things which +are not C. Other Algol-ish programming languages are often safe +(Pascal, Ada, etc.) So is assembly, with caution. \fB\-traditional\-cpp\fR +mode preserves more white space, and is otherwise more permissive. Many +of the problems can be avoided by writing C or \*(C+ style comments +instead of native language comments, and keeping macros simple. +.PP +Wherever possible, you should use a preprocessor geared to the language +you are writing in. Modern versions of the \s-1GNU\s0 assembler have macro +facilities. Most high level programming languages have their own +conditional compilation and inclusion mechanism. If all else fails, +try a true general text processor, such as \s-1GNU\s0 M4. +.PP +C preprocessors vary in some details. This manual discusses the \s-1GNU\s0 C +preprocessor, which provides a small superset of the features of \s-1ISO\s0 +Standard C. In its default mode, the \s-1GNU\s0 C preprocessor does not do a +few things required by the standard. These are features which are +rarely, if ever, used, and may cause surprising changes to the meaning +of a program which does not expect them. To get strict \s-1ISO\s0 Standard C, +you should use the \fB\-std=c89\fR or \fB\-std=c99\fR options, depending +on which version of the standard you want. To get all the mandatory +diagnostics, you must also use \fB\-pedantic\fR. +.PP +This manual describes the behavior of the \s-1ISO\s0 preprocessor. To +minimize gratuitous differences, where the \s-1ISO\s0 preprocessor's +behavior does not conflict with traditional semantics, the +traditional preprocessor should behave the same way. The various +differences that do exist are detailed in the section \fBTraditional +Mode\fR. +.PP +For clarity, unless noted otherwise, references to \fB\s-1CPP\s0\fR in this +manual refer to \s-1GNU\s0 \s-1CPP\s0. +.SH "OPTIONS" +.IX Header "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 +Unless otherwise noted, or the option ends in \fB=\fR, all options +which take an argument may have that argument appear either immediately +after the option, or with a space between option and argument: +\&\fB\-Ifoo\fR and \fB\-I foo\fR have the same effect. +.PP +Many options have multi-letter names; therefore multiple single-letter +options may \fInot\fR be grouped: \fB\-dM\fR is very different from +\&\fB\-d\ \-M\fR. +.IP "\fB\-D\fR \fIname\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-D name" +Predefine \fIname\fR as a macro, with definition \f(CW1\fR. +.IP "\fB\-D\fR \fIname\fR\fB=\fR\fIdefinition\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-D name=definition" +The contents of \fIdefinition\fR are tokenized and processed as if +they appeared during translation phase three in a \fB#define\fR +directive. In particular, the definition will be truncated by +embedded newline characters. +.Sp +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. +.Sp +If you wish to define a function-like macro on the command line, write +its argument list with surrounding parentheses before the equals sign +(if any). Parentheses are meaningful to most shells, so you will need +to quote the option. With \fBsh\fR and \fBcsh\fR, +\&\fB\-D'\fR\fIname\fR\fB(\fR\fIargs...\fR\fB)=\fR\fIdefinition\fR\fB'\fR works. +.Sp +\&\fB\-D\fR and \fB\-U\fR options are processed in the order they +are given on the command line. All \fB\-imacros\fR \fIfile\fR and +\&\fB\-include\fR \fIfile\fR options are processed after all +\&\fB\-D\fR and \fB\-U\fR options. +.IP "\fB\-U\fR \fIname\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-U name" +Cancel any previous definition of \fIname\fR, either built in or +provided with a \fB\-D\fR option. +.IP "\fB\-undef\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-undef" +Do not predefine any system-specific or GCC-specific macros. The +standard predefined macros remain defined. +.IP "\fB\-I\fR \fIdir\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-I dir" +Add the directory \fIdir\fR to the list of directories to be searched +for header files. +.Sp +Directories named by \fB\-I\fR are searched before the standard +system include directories. If the directory \fIdir\fR is a standard +system include directory, the option is ignored to ensure that the +default search order for system directories and the special treatment +of system headers are not defeated +\&. +.IP "\fB\-o\fR \fIfile\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-o file" +Write output to \fIfile\fR. This is the same as specifying \fIfile\fR +as the second non-option argument to \fBcpp\fR. \fBgcc\fR has a +different interpretation of a second non-option argument, so you must +use \fB\-o\fR to specify the output file. +.IP "\fB\-Wall\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wall" +Turns on all optional warnings which are desirable for normal code. +At present this is \fB\-Wcomment\fR, \fB\-Wtrigraphs\fR, +\&\fB\-Wmultichar\fR and a warning about integer promotion causing a +change of sign in \f(CW\*(C`#if\*(C'\fR expressions. Note that many of the +preprocessor's warnings are on by default and have no options to +control them. +.IP "\fB\-Wcomment\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wcomment" +.PD 0 +.IP "\fB\-Wcomments\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wcomments" +.PD +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. +(Both forms have the same effect.) +.IP "\fB\-Wtrigraphs\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wtrigraphs" +Most trigraphs in comments cannot affect the meaning of the program. +However, a trigraph that would form an escaped newline (\fB??/\fR at +the end of a line) can, by changing where the comment begins or ends. +Therefore, only trigraphs that would form escaped newlines produce +warnings inside a comment. +.Sp +This option is implied by \fB\-Wall\fR. If \fB\-Wall\fR is not +given, this option is still enabled unless trigraphs are enabled. To +get trigraph conversion without warnings, but get the other +\&\fB\-Wall\fR warnings, use \fB\-trigraphs \-Wall \-Wno\-trigraphs\fR. +.IP "\fB\-Wtraditional\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wtraditional" +Warn about certain constructs that behave differently in traditional and +\&\s-1ISO\s0 C. Also warn about \s-1ISO\s0 C constructs that have no traditional C +equivalent, and problematic constructs which should be avoided. +.IP "\fB\-Wimport\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wimport" +Warn the first time \fB#import\fR is used. +.IP "\fB\-Wundef\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wundef" +Warn whenever an identifier which is not a macro is encountered in an +\&\fB#if\fR directive, outside of \fBdefined\fR. Such identifiers are +replaced with zero. +.IP "\fB\-Wunused\-macros\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wunused-macros" +Warn about macros defined in the main file that are unused. A macro +is \fIused\fR if it is expanded or tested for existence at least once. +The preprocessor will also warn if the macro has not been used at the +time it is redefined or undefined. +.Sp +Built-in macros, macros defined on the command line, and macros +defined in include files are not warned about. +.Sp +\&\fINote:\fR If a macro is actually used, but only used in skipped +conditional blocks, then \s-1CPP\s0 will report it as unused. To avoid the +warning in such a case, you might improve the scope of the macro's +definition by, for example, moving it into the first skipped block. +Alternatively, you could provide a dummy use with something like: +.Sp +.Vb 2 +\& #if defined the_macro_causing_the_warning +\& #endif +.Ve +.IP "\fB\-Wendif\-labels\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wendif-labels" +Warn whenever an \fB#else\fR or an \fB#endif\fR are followed by text. +This usually happens in code of the form +.Sp +.Vb 5 +\& #if FOO +\& ... +\& #else FOO +\& ... +\& #endif FOO +.Ve +.Sp +The second and third \f(CW\*(C`FOO\*(C'\fR should be in comments, but often are not +in older programs. This warning is on by default. +.IP "\fB\-Werror\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Werror" +Make all warnings into hard errors. Source code which triggers warnings +will be rejected. +.IP "\fB\-Wsystem\-headers\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-Wsystem-headers" +Issue warnings for code in system headers. These are normally unhelpful +in finding bugs in your own code, therefore suppressed. If you are +responsible for the system library, you may want to see them. +.IP "\fB\-w\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-w" +Suppress all warnings, including those which \s-1GNU\s0 \s-1CPP\s0 issues by default. +.IP "\fB\-pedantic\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-pedantic" +Issue all the mandatory diagnostics listed in the C standard. Some of +them are left out by default, since they trigger frequently on harmless +code. +.IP "\fB\-pedantic\-errors\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-pedantic-errors" +Issue all the mandatory diagnostics, and make all mandatory diagnostics +into errors. This includes mandatory diagnostics that \s-1GCC\s0 issues +without \fB\-pedantic\fR but treats as warnings. +.IP "\fB\-M\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-M" +Instead of outputting the result of preprocessing, output a rule +suitable for \fBmake\fR describing the dependencies of the main +source file. The preprocessor outputs one \fBmake\fR rule containing +the object file name for that source file, a colon, and the names of all +the included files, including those coming from \fB\-include\fR or +\&\fB\-imacros\fR command line options. +.Sp +Unless specified explicitly (with \fB\-MT\fR or \fB\-MQ\fR), the +object file name consists of the basename of the source file with any +suffix replaced with object file suffix. If there are many included +files then the rule is split into several lines using \fB\e\fR\-newline. +The rule has no commands. +.Sp +This option does not suppress the preprocessor's debug output, such as +\&\fB\-dM\fR. To avoid mixing such debug output with the dependency +rules you should explicitly specify the dependency output file with +\&\fB\-MF\fR, or use an environment variable like +\&\fB\s-1DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT\s0\fR. Debug output +will still be sent to the regular output stream as normal. +.Sp +Passing \fB\-M\fR to the driver implies \fB\-E\fR, and suppresses +warnings with an implicit \fB\-w\fR. +.IP "\fB\-MM\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-MM" +Like \fB\-M\fR but do not mention header files that are found in +system header directories, nor header files that are included, +directly or indirectly, from such a header. +.Sp +This implies that the choice of angle brackets or double quotes in an +\&\fB#include\fR directive does not in itself determine whether that +header will appear in \fB\-MM\fR dependency output. This is a +slight change in semantics from \s-1GCC\s0 versions 3.0 and earlier. +.IP "\fB\-MF\fR \fIfile\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-MF file" +When used with \fB\-M\fR or \fB\-MM\fR, specifies a +file to write the dependencies to. If no \fB\-MF\fR switch is given +the preprocessor sends the rules to the same place it would have sent +preprocessed output. +.Sp +When used with the driver options \fB\-MD\fR or \fB\-MMD\fR, +\&\fB\-MF\fR overrides the default dependency output file. +.IP "\fB\-MG\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-MG" +In conjunction with an option such as \fB\-M\fR requesting +dependency generation, \fB\-MG\fR assumes missing header files are +generated files and adds them to the dependency list without raising +an error. The dependency filename is taken directly from the +\&\f(CW\*(C`#include\*(C'\fR directive without prepending any path. \fB\-MG\fR +also suppresses preprocessed output, as a missing header file renders +this useless. +.Sp +This feature is used in automatic updating of makefiles. +.IP "\fB\-MP\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-MP" +This option instructs \s-1CPP\s0 to add a phony target for each dependency +other than the main file, causing each to depend on nothing. These +dummy rules work around errors \fBmake\fR gives if you remove header +files without updating the \fIMakefile\fR to match. +.Sp +This is typical output: +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& test.o: test.c test.h +.Ve +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& test.h: +.Ve +.IP "\fB\-MT\fR \fItarget\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-MT target" +Change the target of the rule emitted by dependency generation. By +default \s-1CPP\s0 takes the name of the main input file, including any path, +deletes any file suffix such as \fB.c\fR, and appends the platform's +usual object suffix. The result is the target. +.Sp +An \fB\-MT\fR option will set the target to be exactly the string you +specify. If you want multiple targets, you can specify them as a single +argument to \fB\-MT\fR, or use multiple \fB\-MT\fR options. +.Sp +For example, \fB\-MT\ '$(objpfx)foo.o'\fR might give +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& $(objpfx)foo.o: foo.c +.Ve +.IP "\fB\-MQ\fR \fItarget\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-MQ target" +Same as \fB\-MT\fR, but it quotes any characters which are special to +Make. \fB\-MQ\ '$(objpfx)foo.o'\fR gives +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& $$(objpfx)foo.o: foo.c +.Ve +.Sp +The default target is automatically quoted, as if it were given with +\&\fB\-MQ\fR. +.IP "\fB\-MD\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-MD" +\&\fB\-MD\fR is equivalent to \fB\-M \-MF\fR \fIfile\fR, except that +\&\fB\-E\fR is not implied. The driver determines \fIfile\fR based on +whether an \fB\-o\fR option is given. If it is, the driver uses its +argument but with a suffix of \fI.d\fR, otherwise it take the +basename of the input file and applies a \fI.d\fR suffix. +.Sp +If \fB\-MD\fR is used in conjunction with \fB\-E\fR, any +\&\fB\-o\fR switch is understood to specify the dependency output file, but if used without \fB\-E\fR, each \fB\-o\fR +is understood to specify a target object file. +.Sp +Since \fB\-E\fR is not implied, \fB\-MD\fR can be used to generate +a dependency output file as a side-effect of the compilation process. +.IP "\fB\-MMD\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-MMD" +Like \fB\-MD\fR except mention only user header files, not system +header files. +.IP "\fB\-x c\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-x c" +.PD 0 +.IP "\fB\-x c++\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-x c++" +.IP "\fB\-x assembler-with-cpp\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-x assembler-with-cpp" +.PD +Specify the source language: C, \*(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, 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 +\&\fINote:\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=\fR\fIstandard\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-std=standard" +.PD 0 +.IP "\fB\-ansi\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-ansi" +.PD +Specify the standard to which the code should conform.

Macros it defines remain defined. +This allows you to acquire all the macros from a header without also +processing its declarations. +.Sp +All files specified by \fB\-imacros\fR are processed before all files +specified by \fB\-include\fR. +.IP "\fB\-idirafter\fR \fIdir\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-idirafter dir" +Search \fIdir\fR for header files, but do it \fIafter\fR all +directories specified with \fB\-I\fR and the standard system directories +have been exhausted. \fIdir\fR is treated as a system include directory. +.IP "\fB\-iprefix\fR \fIprefix\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-iprefix prefix" +Specify \fIprefix\fR as the prefix for subsequent \fB\-iwithprefix\fR +options. If the prefix represents a directory, you should include the +final \fB/\fR. +.IP "\fB\-iwithprefix\fR \fIdir\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-iwithprefix dir" +.PD 0 +.IP "\fB\-iwithprefixbefore\fR \fIdir\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-iwithprefixbefore dir" +.PD +Append \fIdir\fR to the prefix specified previously with +\&\fB\-iprefix\fR, and add the resulting directory to the include search +path. \fB\-iwithprefixbefore\fR puts it in the same place \fB\-I\fR +would; \fB\-iwithprefix\fR puts it where \fB\-idirafter\fR would. +.IP "\fB\-isysroot\fR \fIdir\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-isysroot dir" +This option is like the \fB\-\-sysroot\fR option, but applies only to +header files. See the \fB\-\-sysroot\fR option for more information. +.IP "\fB\-imultilib\fR \fIdir\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-imultilib dir" +Use \fIdir\fR as a subdirectory of the directory containing +target-specific \*(C+ headers. +.IP "\fB\-isystem\fR \fIdir\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-isystem dir" +Search \fIdir\fR for header files, after all directories specified by +\&\fB\-I\fR but before the standard system directories. Mark it +as a system directory, so that it gets the same special treatment as +is applied to the standard system directories. +.IP "\fB\-iquote\fR \fIdir\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-iquote dir" +Search \fIdir\fR only for header files requested with +\&\f(CW\*(C`#include\ "\f(CIfile\f(CW"\*(C'\fR; they are not searched for +\&\f(CW\*(C`#include\ <\f(CIfile\f(CW>\*(C'\fR, before all directories specified by +\&\fB\-I\fR and before the standard system directories. +.IP "\fB\-fdollars\-in\-identifiers\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-fdollars-in-identifiers" +Accept \fB$\fR in identifiers. +.IP "\fB\-fextended\-identifiers\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-fextended-identifiers" +Accept universal character names in identifiers. This option is +experimental; in a future version of \s-1GCC\s0, it will be enabled by +default for C99 and \*(C+. +.IP "\fB\-fpreprocessed\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-fpreprocessed" +Indicate to the preprocessor that the input file has already been +preprocessed. This suppresses things like macro expansion, trigraph +conversion, escaped newline splicing, and processing of most directives. +The preprocessor still recognizes and removes comments, so that you can +pass a file preprocessed with \fB\-C\fR to the compiler without +problems. In this mode the integrated preprocessor is little more than +a tokenizer for the front ends. +.Sp +\&\fB\-fpreprocessed\fR is implicit if the input file has one of the +extensions \fB.i\fR, \fB.ii\fR or \fB.mi\fR. These are the +extensions that \s-1GCC\s0 uses for preprocessed files created by +\&\fB\-save\-temps\fR. +.IP "\fB\-ftabstop=\fR\fIwidth\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-ftabstop=width" +Set the distance between tab stops. This helps the preprocessor report +correct column numbers in warnings or errors, even if tabs appear on the +line. If the value is less than 1 or greater than 100, the option is +ignored. The default is 8. +.IP "\fB\-fexec\-charset=\fR\fIcharset\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-fexec-charset=charset" +Set the execution character set, used for string and character +constants. The default is \s-1UTF\-8\s0. \fIcharset\fR can be any encoding +supported by the system's \f(CW\*(C`iconv\*(C'\fR library routine. +.IP "\fB\-fwide\-exec\-charset=\fR\fIcharset\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-fwide-exec-charset=charset" +Set the wide execution character set, used for wide string and +character constants. The default is \s-1UTF\-32\s0 or \s-1UTF\-16\s0, whichever +corresponds to the width of \f(CW\*(C`wchar_t\*(C'\fR. As with +\&\fB\-fexec\-charset\fR, \fIcharset\fR can be any encoding supported +by the system's \f(CW\*(C`iconv\*(C'\fR library routine; however, you will have +problems with encodings that do not fit exactly in \f(CW\*(C`wchar_t\*(C'\fR. +.IP "\fB\-finput\-charset=\fR\fIcharset\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-finput-charset=charset" +Set the input character set, used for translation from the character +set of the input file to the source character set used by \s-1GCC\s0. If the +locale does not specify, or \s-1GCC\s0 cannot get this information from the +locale, the default is \s-1UTF\-8\s0. This can be overridden by either the locale +or this command line option. Currently the command line option takes +precedence if there's a conflict. \fIcharset\fR can be any encoding +supported by the system's \f(CW\*(C`iconv\*(C'\fR library routine. +.IP "\fB\-fworking\-directory\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-fworking-directory" +Enable generation of linemarkers in the preprocessor output that will +let the compiler know the current working directory at the time of +preprocessing. When this option is enabled, the preprocessor will +emit, after the initial linemarker, a second linemarker with the +current working directory followed by two slashes. \s-1GCC\s0 will use this +directory, when it's present in the preprocessed input, as the +directory emitted as the current working directory in some debugging +information formats. This option is implicitly enabled if debugging +information is enabled, but this can be inhibited with the negated +form \fB\-fno\-working\-directory\fR. If the \fB\-P\fR flag is +present in the command line, this option has no effect, since no +\&\f(CW\*(C`#line\*(C'\fR directives are emitted whatsoever. +.IP "\fB\-fno\-show\-column\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-fno-show-column" +Do not print column numbers in diagnostics. This may be necessary if +diagnostics are being scanned by a program that does not understand the +column numbers, such as \fBdejagnu\fR. +.IP "\fB\-A\fR \fIpredicate\fR\fB=\fR\fIanswer\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-A predicate=answer" +Make an assertion with the predicate \fIpredicate\fR and answer +\&\fIanswer\fR. This form is preferred to the older form \fB\-A\fR +\&\fIpredicate\fR\fB(\fR\fIanswer\fR\fB)\fR, which is still supported, because +it does not use shell special characters. +.IP "\fB\-A \-\fR\fIpredicate\fR\fB=\fR\fIanswer\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-A -predicate=answer" +Cancel an assertion with the predicate \fIpredicate\fR and answer +\&\fIanswer\fR. +.IP "\fB\-dCHARS\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-dCHARS" +\&\fI\s-1CHARS\s0\fR is a sequence of one or more of the following characters, +and must not be preceded by a space. Other characters are interpreted +by the compiler proper, or reserved for future versions of \s-1GCC\s0, and so +are silently ignored. If you specify characters whose behavior +conflicts, the result is undefined. +.RS 4 +.IP "\fBM\fR" 4 +.IX Item "M" +Instead of the normal output, generate 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 \fIfoo.h\fR, the command +.Sp +.Vb 1 +\& touch foo.h; cpp -dM foo.h +.Ve +.Sp +will show all the predefined macros. +.IP "\fBD\fR" 4 +.IX Item "D" +Like \fBM\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 "\fBN\fR" 4 +.IX Item "N" +Like \fBD\fR, but emit only the macro names, not their expansions. +.IP "\fBI\fR" 4 +.IX Item "I" +Output \fB#include\fR directives in addition to the result of +preprocessing. +.RE +.RS 4 +.RE +.IP "\fB\-P\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-P" +Inhibit generation of linemarkers 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 +linemarkers. +.IP "\fB\-C\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-C" +Do not discard comments. All comments are passed through to the output +file, except for comments in processed directives, which are deleted +along with the directive. +.Sp +You should be prepared for side effects when using \fB\-C\fR; it +causes the preprocessor to treat comments as tokens in their own right. +For example, comments appearing at the start of what would be a +directive line have the effect of turning that line into an ordinary +source line, since the first token on the line is no longer a \fB#\fR. +.IP "\fB\-CC\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-CC" +Do not discard comments, including during macro expansion. This is +like \fB\-C\fR, except that comments contained within macros are +also passed through to the output file where the macro is expanded. +.Sp +In addition to the side-effects of the \fB\-C\fR option, the +\&\fB\-CC\fR option causes all \*(C+\-style comments inside a macro +to be converted to C\-style comments. This is to prevent later use +of that macro from inadvertently commenting out the remainder of +the source line. +.Sp +The \fB\-CC\fR option is generally used to support lint comments. +.IP "\fB\-traditional\-cpp\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-traditional-cpp" +Try to imitate the behavior of old-fashioned C preprocessors, as +opposed to \s-1ISO\s0 C preprocessors. +.IP "\fB\-trigraphs\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-trigraphs" +Process trigraph sequences. +.IP "\fB\-remap\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-remap" +Enable special code to work around file systems which only permit very +short file names, such as \s-1MS\-DOS\s0. +.IP "\fB\-\-help\fR" 4 +.IX Item "--help" +.PD 0 +.IP "\fB\-\-target\-help\fR" 4 +.IX Item "--target-help" +.PD +Print text describing all the command line options instead of +preprocessing anything. +.IP "\fB\-v\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-v" +Verbose mode. Print out \s-1GNU\s0 \s-1CPP\s0's version number at the beginning of +execution, and report the final form of the include path. +.IP "\fB\-H\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-H" +Print the name of each header file used, in addition to other normal +activities. Each name is indented to show how deep in the +\&\fB#include\fR stack it is. Precompiled header files are also +printed, even if they are found to be invalid; an invalid precompiled +header file is printed with \fB...x\fR and a valid one with \fB...!\fR . +.IP "\fB\-version\fR" 4 +.IX Item "-version" +.PD 0 +.IP "\fB\-\-version\fR" 4 +.IX Item "--version" +.PD +Print out \s-1GNU\s0 \s-1CPP\s0's version number. With one dash, proceed to +preprocess as normal. With two dashes, exit immediately. +.SH "ENVIRONMENT" +.IX Header "ENVIRONMENT" +This section describes the environment variables that affect how \s-1CPP\s0 +operates. You can use them to specify directories or prefixes to use +when searching for include files, or to control dependency output. +.PP +Note that you can also specify places to search using options such as +\&\fB\-I\fR, and control dependency output with options like +\&\fB\-M\fR. These take precedence over +environment variables, which in turn take precedence over the +configuration of \s-1GCC\s0. +.IP "\fB\s-1CPATH\s0\fR" 4 +.IX Item "CPATH" +.PD 0 +.IP "\fBC_INCLUDE_PATH\fR" 4 +.IX Item "C_INCLUDE_PATH" +.IP "\fB\s-1CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH\s0\fR" 4 +.IX Item "CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH" +.PD +Each variable's value is a list of directories separated by a special +character, much like \fB\s-1PATH\s0\fR, in which to look for header files. +The special character, \f(CW\*(C`PATH_SEPARATOR\*(C'\fR, is target-dependent and +determined at \s-1GCC\s0 build time. For Microsoft Windows-based targets it is a +semicolon, and for almost all other targets it is a colon. +.Sp +\&\fB\s-1CPATH\s0\fR specifies a list of directories to be searched as if +specified with \fB\-I\fR, but after any paths given with \fB\-I\fR +options on the command line. This environment variable is used +regardless of which language is being preprocessed. +.Sp +The remaining environment variables apply only when preprocessing the +particular language indicated. Each specifies a list of directories +to be searched as if specified with \fB\-isystem\fR, but after any +paths given with \fB\-isystem\fR options on the command line. +.Sp +In all these variables, an empty element instructs the compiler to +search its current working directory. Empty elements can appear at the +beginning or end of a path. For instance, if the value of +\&\fB\s-1CPATH\s0\fR is \f(CW\*(C`:/special/include\*(C'\fR, that has the same +effect as \fB\-I.\ \-I/special/include\fR. +.IP "\fB\s-1DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT\s0\fR" 4 +.IX Item "DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT" +If this variable is set, its value specifies how to output +dependencies for Make based on the non-system header files processed +by the compiler. System header files are ignored in the dependency +output. +.Sp +The value of \fB\s-1DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT\s0\fR can be just a file name, in +which case the Make rules are written to that file, guessing the target +name from the source file name. Or the value can have the form +\&\fIfile\fR\fB \fR\fItarget\fR, in which case the rules are written to +file \fIfile\fR using \fItarget\fR as the target name. +.Sp +In other words, this environment variable is equivalent to combining +the options \fB\-MM\fR and \fB\-MF\fR, +with an optional \fB\-MT\fR switch too. +.IP "\fB\s-1SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES\s0\fR" 4 +.IX Item "SUNPRO_DEPENDENCIES" +This variable is the same as \fB\s-1DEPENDENCIES_OUTPUT\s0\fR (see above), +except that system header files are not ignored, so it implies +\&\fB\-M\fR rather than \fB\-MM\fR. However, the dependence on the +main input file is omitted. +.SH "SEE ALSO" +.IX Header "SEE ALSO" +\&\fIgpl\fR\|(7), \fIgfdl\fR\|(7), \fIfsf\-funding\fR\|(7), +\&\fIgcc\fR\|(1), \fIas\fR\|(1), \fIld\fR\|(1), and the Info entries for \fIcpp\fR, \fIgcc\fR, and +\&\fIbinutils\fR. +.SH "COPYRIGHT" +.IX Header "COPYRIGHT" +Copyright (c) 1987, 1989, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, 1995, 1996, +1997, 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005 +Free Software Foundation, Inc. +.PP +Permission is granted to copy, distribute and/or modify this document +under the terms of the \s-1GNU\s0 Free Documentation License, Version 1.1 or +any later version published by the Free Software Foundation.
