| .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 |
| (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=c90\fR, \fB\-std=c99\fR or |
| \&\fB\-std=c11\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 |
| \&. |
| If \fIdir\fR begins with \f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR, then the \f(CW\*(C`=\*(C'\fR will be replaced |
| by the sysroot prefix; see \fB\-\-sysroot\fR and \fB\-isysroot\fR. |
| .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\-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 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 |
| 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 |
| \& |
| \& 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, 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 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 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. |
| .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 objective-c\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-x objective-c" |
| .IP "\fB\-x assembler-with-cpp\fR" 4 |
| .IX Item "-x assembler-with-cpp" |
| .PD |
| 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 |

| The option's behavior depends on the \fB\-E\fR and \fB\-fpreprocessed\fR |

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

| .IP "\fB\-fpreprocessed\fR" 4 |

| Indicate to the preprocessor that the input file has already been |

| 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 |

| Track locations of tokens across macro expansions. This allows the |
| compiler to emit diagnostic about the current macro expansion stack |
| when a compilation error occurs in a macro expansion. Using this |
| option makes the preprocessor and the compiler consume more |
| memory. The \fIlevel\fR parameter can be used to choose the level of |
| precision of token location tracking thus decreasing the memory |
| consumption if necessary. Value \fB0\fR of \fIlevel\fR de-activates |
| this option just as if no \fB\-ftrack\-macro\-expansion\fR was present |
| on the command line. 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 |
| function-like macro have the same location. Value \fB2\fR tracks |
| tokens locations completely. This value is the most memory hungry. |
| When this option is given no argument, the default parameter value is |
| \&\fB2\fR. |

| \&\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. |
