Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

     You can produce listings of preprocessed files with the following
     options:
 
     Option   Effect
 
     /P       Writes preprocessed output to a file; names the file with
              the source file's base name and appends .I extension.
              Preprocessor directives are carried out and macro
              expansions are performed.
     /E       Writes preprocessed output to standard output; includes
              #line directives.
     /EP      Writes preprocessed output to standard output without
              #line directives.
     /C       Preserves comments during preprocessing (valid only with
              /P, /E, or /EP).
 
     These options suppress compilation; CL does not produce an object
     file or listing, even if you specify the /Fo or /Fm option on the
     CL command line. The preprocessed output file is a facsimile of
     your source file with a few operations carried out. In your output
     files, all preprocessor directives are performed, macro expansions
     are completed, and comments are removed (comments remain if you use
     the /C option).
