| Summary : The C Preprocessor.

Description :
Cpp is the GNU C-Compatible Compiler Preprocessor. Cpp is a macro
processor which 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 (abbreviations for longer
constructs).
The C preprocessor provides four separate functionalities: the
inclusion of header files (files of declarations that can be
substituted into your program); macro expansion (you can define macros
and the C preprocessor will replace the macros with their definitions
throughout the program); conditional compilation (using special
preprocessing directives, you can include or exclude parts of the
program according to various conditions); and line control (if you use
a program to combine or rearrange source files into an intermediate
file which is then compiled, you can use line control to inform the
compiler about where each source line originated).
