License : GPLv3+ and GPLv3+ with exceptions and GPLv2+ with exceptions and

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).
:
: You should install this package if you are a C programmer and you
: use macros.
