Description-en: Alternative C/C++ preprocessor
C/C++ preprocessor defines and expands macros and processes '#if',
'#include' and some other directives.
.
mcpp is an alternative C/C++ preprocessor with the highest conformance.
It supports multiple standards: K&R, ISO C90, ISO C99, and ISO C++98.
mcpp is especially useful for debugging a source program which uses
complicated macros and also useful for checking portability of a source.
.
Though mcpp could be built as a replacement of GCC's resident
preprocessor or as a stand-alone program without using library build of
mcpp, this package installs only a program named 'mcpp' which links
shared library of mcpp and behaves independent from GCC.
