Please don't arbirarily alphabetize them. +.Ss Common Options +.Bl -tag -width bubblebabble +.It Fl C +Retain comments in output. +.It Fl Dmacro[=expansion] +Provide a definition for the named macro. +If no expansion is provided, the value +.Dq 1 +is used. +.It Fl -Ipath +Add the specified path to the main list of include directories. +.It Fl nostdinc +Do not search the standard system include directories. +.It Fl P +Suppress line number information in the output. +Currently line number information is not generated at all and this +option has no effect. +.It Fl Umacro +Remove any existing defintion for the named macro. +.It Fl undef +Remove all predefined macros. +.El +.Ss Warning Options +Warning options can be disabled or enabled by inserting, or not, the +string +.Dq no- +between the +.Dq W +and the warning name. +Herein the +.Dq Fl Wno- +form is shown for options that are enabled by default. +.Bl -tag -width bubblebabble +.It Fl Wall +Turn on all warnings. +The option +.Fl Wno-all +disables only the warnings that are disabled by default. +.It Fl w +Turn off all warnings. +.It Fl Werror +Make warnings into fatal errors. +.It Fl Wcomment +Warn about nested comments. +.It Fl Wno-endif-labels +Don't warn about symbols attached to #endif directives. +(The warning is currently not implemented.) +.It Fl Wundef +Warn about undefined symbols appearing in #if and #elif expressions. +.It Fl Wunused-macros +Warn about macros that are defined and never used. +Not implemented. +.El +.Ss Depend Options +.Bl -tag -width bubblebabble +.It Fl M +Generate dependency information for +.Xr make 1 +on the standard output, instead of preprocessing. +Not implemented. +.It Fl MD +Like +.Fl M +but skip system headers. +Not implemented. +.It Fl MM +Like +.Fl M +but write the dependency information to a file named after the input +file with extension +.Pa \.d +and preprocess normally to standard output. +Not implemented. +.It Fl MMD +Like +.Fl MM +but skip system headers. +Not implemented. +.It Fl MG +When generating dependency information, assume that missing files are +generated instead of failing. +Not implemented. +.It Fl MP +Issue dummy rules for all include files. +This prevents +.Xr make 1 +from choking if an include file is removed. +Not implemented. +.El +.Ss Diagnostic Options +.Bl -tag -width bubblebabble +.It Fl dD +Dump all macro definitions, except for the predefined macros, after +the normal preprocessing output. +Not implemented. +.It Fl dI +Dump all include directives along with the normal preprocessing +output. +Not implemented. +.It Fl dM +Dump all macro definitions instead of the normal preprocessing +output. +Not implemented. +.It Fl dN +Like +.Fl dD +but emits only macro names and not the expansions. +Not implemented. +.It Fl H +Output a trace of the include tree as it gets processed. +Not implemented. +.El +.Ss Other Options +.Bl -tag -width bubblebabble +.It Fl CC +Retain comments in output. +Same as +.Fl C , +accepted for compatibility with +.Xr gcc 1 . +.It Fl fdollars-in-identifiers Fl fno-dollars-in-identifiers +Enable +.Pq or disable, respectively +the use of the dollar sign in identifiers. +Not implemented. +.It Fl ftabstop=num +Set the tab width to the specified value, for reporting column +positions in diagnostics. +The default is 8. +Not implemented. +.It Fl std=standard +Ask +.Nm +to conform to the named standard. +The default, and the only supported value, is +.Dq krc . +.It Fl traditional +This option is accepted for compatibility with +.Xr gcc 1 +and ignored. +.El +.Sh FILES +The default list of directories searched for include files is: +.Bl -item -offset indent -compact +.It +.Pa /usr/local/include +.It +.Pa /usr/include +.El +.Sh SEE ALSO +.Xr cc 1 , +.Xr cpp 1 , +.Xr make 1 +.Sh STANDARDS +None. +The whole point of a traditional cpp is that it reflects practices +in pre-standardization implementations of C. +Some information is available from the first edition of Kernighan and +Ritchie. +Much of the rest of the behavior is based on lore, pragmatism, +material encountered in the wild, and comparison to other +implementations. +.Sh HISTORY +The original version of +.Nm +was written one evening in late 2010. +This version had some problems and was put aside. +The first working version was released in June 2013. +.\" .Sh AUTHORS +.\" David A.
