cpp32.exe

Author: (Norbert) Suedland, Aalen, Germany

A preprocessor, which rapidly shows, what the manyfoldly tortuous macro abbreviations actually reach by corresponding switch parameters.

The possible control parameters are ascertained by a call (without arguments) of:

cpp32.exe

Borland C++ Preprocessor 5.2 for 32 bit Windows
Copyright © 1993, 1997 Borland International
Syntax is: cpp32 [ options ] file[s]		* = default; -x- = turn switch x off

-Sk		keep output on errors		-Sd		dump defines/undefines in output
-Ax		disable extensions		-C		allow nested comments
-Dxxx		define macro abbreviation		-Ixxx		include files directory
-P	*	include source line information		-Uxxx		undefine macro abbreviation
-gnnn		stop after N warnings		-innn		maxmimum identifier length is N
-jnnn		stop after N errors		-nxxx		output file directory
-oxxx		output file name		-p		Pascal calls
-w		enable all warnings		-wxxx		enable warning xxx
-w-xxx		disable warning xxx

Whether in case of a translation of this programme into other languages also all option characters are to be translated, can be discussed.

The following call generates a file _null.i, which makes comprehensible the result of all switches:

cpp32.exe -C -Sd \Borland\BC5\Include\_null.h
