.SH "DESCRIPTION"

|
.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
|
||
|
|
The C preprocessor, often known as \fIcpp\fR, is a \fImacro processor\fR
|
||
|
|
that is used automatically by the C compiler to transform your program
|
||
|
|
before compilation. 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, \*(C+, and
|
||
|
|
Objective-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
|
||
|
|
(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 M4.\s0
|
||
|
|
.PP
|
||
|
|
C preprocessors vary in some details. This manual discusses the \s-1GNU C\s0
|
||
|
|
preprocessor, which provides a small superset of the features of \s-1ISO\s0
|
||
|
|
Standard C. In its default mode, the \s-1GNU C\s0 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=c90\fR, \fB\-std=c99\fR,
|
||
|
|
\&\fB\-std=c11\fR or \fB\-std=c17\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 CPP.\s0

.SH "OPTIONS"
|
||
|
|
.IX Header "OPTIONS"
|
||
|
|
The \fBcpp\fR command 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. If either file is omitted, it
|
||
|
|
means the same as if \fB\-\fR had been specified for that file.
|
||
|
|
You can also use the \fB\-o\fR \fIoutfile\fR option to specify the
|
||
|
|
output 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 is 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 should
|
||
|
|
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\-include\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
|
||
|
|
.IX Item "-include file"
|
||
|
|
Process \fIfile\fR as if \f(CW\*(C`#include "file"\*(C'\fR appeared as the first
|
||
|
|
line of the primary source file. However, the first directory searched
|
||
|
|
for \fIfile\fR is the preprocessor's working directory \fIinstead of\fR
|
||
|
|
the directory containing the main source file. If not found there, it
|
||
|
|
is searched for in the remainder of the \f(CW\*(C`#include "..."\*(C'\fR search
|
||
|
|
chain as normal.
|
||
|
|
.Sp
|
||
|
|
If multiple \fB\-include\fR options are given, the files are included
|
||
|
|
in the order they appear on the command line.
|
||
|
|
.IP "\fB\-imacros\fR \fIfile\fR" 4
|
||
|
|
.IX Item "-imacros file"
|
||
|
|
Exactly like \fB\-include\fR, except that any output produced by
|
||
|
|
scanning \fIfile\fR is thrown away. 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\-undef\fR" 4
|
||
|
|
.IX Item "-undef"
|
||
|
|
Do not predefine any system-specific or GCC-specific macros. The
|
||
|
|
standard predefined macros remain defined.
|
||
|
|
.IP "\fB\-pthread\fR" 4
|
||
|
|
.IX Item "-pthread"
|
||
|
|
Define additional macros required for using the \s-1POSIX\s0 threads library.
|
||
|
|
You should use this option consistently for both compilation and linking.
|
||
|
|
This option is supported on GNU/Linux targets, most other Unix derivatives,
|
||
|
|
and also on x86 Cygwin and MinGW targets.
|
||
|
|
.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 name of the source file with any
|
||
|
|
suffix replaced with object file suffix and with any leading directory
|
||
|
|
parts removed. 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
|
||
|
|

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.

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.

|

Change the target of the rule emitted by dependency generation. By
|
||
|
|
default \s-1CPP\s0 takes the name of the main input file, deletes any
|
||
|
|
directory components and 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 sets 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.

|
|
\&\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 takes the name
|
||
|
|
of the input file, removes any directory components and suffix, 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.

Since \fB\-E\fR is not implied, \fB\-MD\fR can be used to generate

The preprocessor still recognizes and removes comments, so that you can

pass a file preprocessed with \fB\-C\fR to the compiler without

a tokenizer for the front ends.

With \fB\-fpreprocessed\fR, predefinition of command line and most

builtin macros is disabled. Macros such as \f(CW\*(C`_\|_LINE_\|_\*(C'\fR, which are

Track locations of tokens across macro expansions. This allows the

precision of token location tracking thus decreasing the memory
|

|
consumption if necessary. Value \fB0\fR of \fIlevel\fR de-activates

this option. Value \fB1\fR tracks tokens locations in a

degraded mode for the sake of minimal memory overhead. In this mode

all tokens resulting from the expansion of an argument of a

You can use \fB\-I\fR to override a system header

file, substituting your own version, since these directories are

searched before the standard system header file directories.

not use this option to add directories that contain vendor-supplied

The \fB\-isystem\fR and \fB\-idirafter\fR options also mark the directory

The special character, \f(CW\*(C`PATH_SEPARATOR\*(C'\fR, is target-dependent and

In all these variables, an empty element instructs the compiler to
