The GNU C Preprocessor |
This part of the documentation is a modified version of the GNU CPP Manual.
Therefore it is licensed under the GNU Free Documentation License.
The C preprocessor is a macro processor that is used automatically by
the C compiler to transform your program before actual compilation. It is
called a macro processor because it allows you to define macros,
which are brief abbreviations for longer constructs.
