Op Fl iD Ns Ar sym Ns Op = Ns Ar val
Op Fl iU Ns Ar sym

Sh DESCRIPTION
The
Nm
utility selectively processes conditional
Xr cpp 1
directives.
It removes from a file both the directives and any additional text
that they specify should be removed, while otherwise leaving the
file alone.
Pp
The
Nm
utility acts on
Ic #if , #ifdef , #ifndef , #elif , #else ,
and
Ic #endif
lines,
and it understands only the commonly-used subset
of the expression syntax for
Ic #if
and
Ic #elif
lines.
It handles
integer values of symbols defined on the command line,
the
Fn defined
operator applied to symbols defined or undefined on the command line,
the operators
Ic \&! , < , > , <= , >= , == , != , && , || ,
and parenthesized expressions.
Anything that it does not understand is passed through unharmed.
It only processes
Ic #ifdef
and
Ic #ifndef
directives if the symbol is specified on the command line,
otherwise they are also passed through unchanged.
By default, it ignores
Ic #if
and
Ic #elif
lines with constant expressions,
or they may be processed by specifying the
Fl k
flag on the command line.
Pp
The
Nm
utility also understands just enough about C
to know when one of the directives is inactive
because it is inside
a comment,
or affected by a backslash-continued line.
It spots unusually-formatted preprocessor directives
and knows when the layout is too odd to handle.
Pp
A script called
Nm unifdefall
can be used to remove all conditional
Xr cpp 1
directives from a file.
It uses
Nm Fl s
and
Nm cpp Fl dM
to get lists of all the controlling symbols
and their definitions (or lack thereof),
then invokes
Nm
with appropriate arguments to process the file.
Pp
Available options:
Bl -tag -width indent -compact
It Fl D Ns Ar sym Ns Op = Ns Ar val
Specify that a symbol is defined,
and optionally specify what value to give it
for the purpose of handling
Ic #if
and
Ic #elif
directives.
It Fl U Ns Ar sym
Specify that a symbol is undefined.
If the same symbol appears in more than one argument,
the last occurrence dominates.
It Fl c
If the
Fl c
flag is specified,
then the operation of
Nm
is complemented,
i.e., the lines that would have been removed or blanked
are retained and vice versa.
It Fl e
Because
Nm
processes its input one line at a time,
it cannot remove preprocessor directives that span more than one line.
The most common example of this is a directive with a multi-line
comment hanging off its right hand end.
By default,
if
Nm
has to process such a directive,
it will complain that the line is too obfuscated.
The
Fl e
option changes the behaviour so that,
where possible,
such lines are left unprocessed instead of reporting an error.
It Fl k
Process
Ic #if
and
Ic #elif
lines with constant expressions.
By default, sections controlled by such lines are passed through unchanged
because they typically start
Dq Li "#if 0"
and are used as a kind of comment to sketch out future or past development.
It would be rude to strip them out, just as it would be for normal comments.
It Fl l
Replace removed lines with blank lines
instead of deleting them.
It Fl o Ar output
The argument given is the name of an
Ar output
file to be used instead of the standard output.
This file can be the same as the input file.
It Fl s
Instead of processing the input file as usual,
this option causes
Nm
to produce a list of symbols that appear in expressions
that
Nm
understands.
It is useful in conjunction with the
Fl dM
option of
Xr cpp 1
for creating
Nm
command lines.
It Fl t
Disables parsing for C comments
and line continuations,
which is useful
for plain text.
It Fl iD Ns Ar sym Ns Op = Ns Ar val
It Fl iU Ns Ar sym
Ignore
Ic #ifdef Ns s .
If your C code uses
Ic #ifdef Ns s
to delimit non-C lines,
such as comments
or code which is under construction,
then you must tell
Nm
which symbols are used for that purpose so that it will not try to parse
comments
and line continuations
inside those
Ic #ifdef Ns s .
One specifies ignored symbols with
Fl iD Ns Ar sym Ns Oo = Ns Ar val Oc
and
Fl iU Ns Ar sym
similar to
Fl D Ns Ar sym Ns Op = Ns Ar val
and
Fl U Ns Ar sym
above.
It Fl I Ns Ar path
Specifies to
Nm unifdefall
an additional place to look for
Ic #include
files.
This option is ignored by
Nm
for compatibility with
Xr cpp 1
and to simplify the implementation of
Nm unifdefall .
El
Pp
The
Nm
utility copies its output to
Em stdout
and will take its input from
Em stdin
if no
Ar file
argument is given.
Pp
The
Nm
utility works nicely with the
Fl D Ns Ar sym
option of
Xr diff 1 .
Sh DIAGNOSTICS
Bl -item
It
Too many levels of nesting.
It
Inappropriate
Ic #elif ,
Ic #else
or
Ic #endif .
It
Obfuscated preprocessor control line.
It
Premature
Dv EOF
(with the line number of the most recent unterminated
Ic #if ) .
It
Dv EOF
in comment.
El
Pp
The
Nm
utility exits 0 if the output is an exact copy of the input,
1 if not, and 2 if in trouble.
Sh SEE ALSO
Xr cpp 1 ,
Xr diff 1
Sh HISTORY
The
Nm
command appeared in
Bx 4.3 .
Tn ANSI\~C
support was added in
Fx 4.7 .
Sh BUGS
Expression evaluation is very limited.
Pp
Preprocessor control lines split across more than one physical line
(because of comments or backslash-newline)
cannot be handled in every situation.
Pp
Trigraphs are not recognized.
Pp
There is no support for symbols with different definitions at
different points in the source file.
Pp
The text-mode and ignore functionality does not correspond to modern
Xr cpp 1
behaviour.
