unifdef (selectively processes C conditional compilation)
|
|
|
|
The unifdef utility selectively processes conditional C preprocessor
|
|
#if and #ifdef directives. It removes from a file both the directives
|
|
and the additional text that they delimit, while otherwise leaving the
|
|
file alone.
|
|
|
|
It is useful for avoiding distractions when studying code that uses
|
|
#ifdef heavily for portability: the author's original motivation was to
|
|
understand xterm's pty handling code. It can be used as a lightweight
|
|
preprocessor; for example the Linux kernel uses unifdef to strip out
|
|
#ifdef __KERNEL__ sections from the headers it exports to userland. You
|
|
can use unifdef with languages other than C; for example UIT, a
|
|
publisher in Cambridge, uses unifdef with LaTeX.
