The preprocessor also provides an ability to write out the content of the macros and to add to already created macros in any place in the text of the literate program source file, thereby disposing of the need to keep in mind the restrictions imposed by traditional programming languages or to interrupt the flow of thought.

ScriptBasic also has an open interface for preprocessor developers.

Slides in HTML format with English narration in RealAudio format are also available to get a jump start learning the architecture and module, preprocessor and embedding developments.

The language of preprocessor directives is agnostic to the grammar of C, so the C preprocessor can also be used independently to process other kinds of text files.

Because of this, MediaWiki, for example, has had to introduce its own < code >< nowiki ></ nowiki ></ code > tag for citing references in notes, an idea which has since also been implemented for generic use by the Nelson HTML preprocessor.

A preprocessor with syntax loosely based on DEC's Macro-11 is also included.

GAS uses assembler directives ( also known as pseudo ops ), which are keywords beginning with a period that behave similarly to preprocessor directives in the C programming language.

Syntactic constructs similar to C's preprocessor directives, such as C #' s, are also typically called " directives ", although in these cases there may not be any real preprocessing phase involved.

He also wrote the Portable I / O Library ( the predecessor to stdio. h in C ) and contributed significantly to the development of the C language preprocessor.

Like C, Verilog is case-sensitive and has a basic preprocessor ( though less sophisticated than that of ANSI C / C ++).

Unicon descended from Icon and its preprocessor, IDOL, that offers better access to the operating system as well as support for object-oriented programming.

Macros in the PL / I language are written in a subset of PL / I itself: the compiler executes " preprocessor statements " at compilation time, and the output of this execution forms part of the code that is compiled.

* C and C ++, via the DBC for C preprocessor, GNU Nana, eCv static analysis tool, or the Digital Mars C ++ compiler, via CTESK extension of C. Loki Library provides a mechanism named ContractChecker that verifies a class follows design by contract.

This preprocessor takes the description of the semantics of a language ( i. e. an interpreter ) and, by combining compile-time interpretation and code generation, turns that definition into a compiler to the OCaml programming language — and from that language, either to bytecode or to native code.

dBase features an IDE with a Command Window and Navigator, a just in time compiler, a preprocessor, a virtual machine interpreter, a linker for creating dBase application. exe's, a freely available runtime engine, and numerous two-way GUI design tools including a Form Designer, Report Designer, Menu Designer, Label Designer, Datamodule Designer, SQL Query Designer, and Table Designer.

Meanwhile, macro systems, such as the C preprocessor described earlier, that work at the level of lexical tokens cannot preserve the lexical structure reliably.

Winning entries are awarded with a category, such as " Worst Abuse of the C preprocessor " or " Most Erratic Behavior ", and then announced on the official IOCCC website.

Due to the nature of the contest, entries often employ strange or unusual tricks, such as using the C preprocessor to do things it was not designed to do, or avoiding commonly-used constructs in the C programming language in favor of much more obscure ways of achieving the same thing.

Some other languages rely on a fully external language to define the transformations, such as the XSLT preprocessor for XML, or its statically typed counterpart CDuce.

Generally polyglots are written in a combination of C ( which allows redefinition of tokens with a preprocessor ) and a scripting language such as Lisp, Perl or sh.

The originating machine invokes a preprocessor to handle header files, preprocessing directives ( such as ) and the source files and sends the preprocessed source to other machines over the network via TCP either unencrypted or using SSH.

Source lines that should be handled by the preprocessor, such as and are referred to as preprocessor directives.

A macro processor, such as the C preprocessor, which replaces patterns in source code according to relatively simple rules, is a simple form of source code generator.

The preprocessor did not understand all of the language and much of the code was written via translations.

The MetaOCaml preprocessor / language provides similar features for external Domain-Specific Programming Languages.

Embedded SQL is a technique that simplifies the development of C / C ++ and COBOL Firebird applications, by using a preprocessor called gpre, which allows to embed SQL statements directly into the source code of the host language.

* C preprocessor, a program that processes the C programming language before it is compiled

Ratfor ( short for Rational Fortran ) is a programming language implemented as a preprocessor for Fortran 66.

Ratfiv is an enhanced version of the Ratfor programming language, a preprocessor for Fortran designed to give it C-like capabilities.

In C and C ++, the language supports a simple macro preprocessor.

During 1971 and 1972 B evolved into " New B " and then C, with the preprocessor being added in 1972 and early 1973 at the urging of Alan Snyder.

C ++ started as a preprocessor for C and is currently nearly a superset of C.

* A preprocessor performs macro definition, source code file inclusion, and conditional compilation.

It is now possible ( and relatively easy ) to write an entirely portable program in Fortran, even without recourse to a preprocessor.

Many Fortran compilers have integrated subsets of the C preprocessor into their systems.

SIMSCRIPT is an application specific Fortran preprocessor for modeling and simulating large discrete systems.

C preprocessor macros work by simple textual search-and-replace at the token, rather than the character, level.

REBOL / SDK, providing a choice of kernels to bind against, as well as a preprocessor, was released in December 2002.

Typically, each preprocessor translates only sections of the input file that are specially marked, passing the rest of the file through unchanged.

* eqn preprocessor allows mathematical formulae to be specified in simple and intuitive manner.

* tbl is a preprocessor for formatting tables.

* Java, via iContract2, Contract4J, jContractor, Jcontract, C4J, Google CodePro Analytix, STclass, Jass preprocessor, OVal with AspectJ, Java Modeling Language ( JML ), Jtest, SpringContracts for the Spring framework, Modern Jass, Custos using AspectJ, JavaDbC using AspectJ, JavaTESK using extension of Java, chex4j using javassist, or Contracts for Java, and the highly customizable java-on-contracts.

GNU m4 is an implementation of the m4 macro preprocessor.

Currently there is a single preprocessor that delivers debugger functionality.

In computer science, a preprocessor is a program that processes its input data to produce output that is used as input to another program.
