Default

OFF Preprocessed source files are output to the compiler.

Description

This option causes the preprocessor to send output to stdout. Compilation stops when the files have been preprocessed.

When you specify this option, the compiler's preprocessor expands your source module and writes the result to stdout.  The preprocessed source contains #line directives, which the compiler uses to determine the source file and line number.

Alternate Options

None
