.SH NAME

mcpp \- Matsui CPP, an alternative C preprocessor

.SH SYNOPSIS

mcpp [\fIoptions\fP] [\fI<infile>\fP [\fI<outfile>\fP]]

.SH DESCRIPTION

\fBmcpp\fR is a C/C++ preprocessor with the highest conformance which implements C90, C99 and C++98. 

\fBmcpp\fR has plentiful diagnostics and many #pragmas. 

It is useful to check portability of your program, and also useful to debug complicated macro.

This is a man-page for \fBmcpp\fR of GCC-specific-build.

.SH OPTIONS

\fBmcpp\fR expects two file names as arguments, \fI<infile>\fR and

\&\fI<outfile>\fR.  If not specified, \fI<infile>\fR defaults to standard input

and \fI<outfile>\fR defaults to standard output.

.PP

It takes the following options.

.PP

Commonly used options:

.IP \fB-@MODE

Specify preprocessing mode. MODE should be one of these 4:

.IP "    \fB-@std"

Standard conforming mode. (default)

.IP "    \fB-@poststd, -@post"

special 'post-Standard' mode.

.IP "    \fB-@kr"

K&R 1st mode.

.IP "    \fB-@oldprep, -@old"

"old_preprocessor" mode (i.e. "Reiser model" cpp).

.IP \fB-b

Output #line lines in C source style (default: GCC style).

.IP \fB-C

Output also comments.

.IP "\fB-D <macro>[=<value>]"

Define <macro> as <value> (default:1).

.IP "\fB-D <macro(args)>[=<replace>]"

Define <macro(args)> as <replace>.

.IP "\fB-e <encoding>"

euc_jp, gb2312, ksc5601, big5, sjis, iso2022_jp, utf8.

.IP \fB-finput-charset=<encoding>

Same as -e <encoding>.  (Do not insert spaces around '=').

.IP "\fB-M, -MM, -MD, -MMD, -MP, -MQ target, -MT target, -MF file"

Output source file dependency line for makefile.

.IP \fB-N

Don't predefine any non-standard macros.

.IP "\fB-o <file>"

Output to <file>.

.IP \fB-P

Don't output #line lines.

.IP \fB-Q

.IP \fB-v

Show version of \fBmcpp\fR.

.IP "\fB-W <level>"

Set warning level to <level> (OR of {0,1,2,4,8,16}, default:1).

.IP \fB-w

Same as -W0.

.IP \fB-z

<STANDARD> may be one of: c90, c99, iso9899:1990, iso14882, etc.

.br

iso9899:<n>, iso14882:<n> : Same as -V <n> (long in decimals).

.IP "\fB-V <n>"

Redefine __STDC_VERSION__ or __cplusplus to <n>.

.br

C with -V199901L specifies C99 mode.

.br

C++ with -V199901L specifies C99 compatible mode.

.IP "\fB-x c++"

Same as -+.

.PP

Options available with only -@std (default) option:

.SH PRAGMA

\fBmcpp\fR has the following #pragma directives.

.IP "#pragma once"
