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.
