mcpp

This is a fork of mcpp. mcpp is a C/C++ preprocessor used by the Ice Slice compilers.

This fork consists of a simplified version of mcpp 2.7.2 plus various fixes, tailored to the Slice compilers requirements. Its build system creates only a static library and no command-line preprocessor. The configure script was replaced by a custom config.h suitable for Windows, macOS and Linux builds. Tests and other optional files were removed.

The resulting static library is later used when creating the Ice Slice shared library or statically-linked Slice compilers such as slice2js.

Build Instructions

Linux and macOS

Simply type:

  make

This creates a static library libmcpp.a. Depending on your platform, the library is created in the following directory:

• lib64 - Linux system with a /usr/lib64 directory
• lib - Linux system without a /usr/lib64 directory, macOS

Windows with Visual Studio

Open a Visual Studio Command Prompt, and type:

  MSbuild msbuild\mcpp.vcxproj

This creates a static library mcpp.lib for Release configurations and mcppd.lib for Debug configurations. You can select a specific Configuration (Debug or Release) and Platform (Win32 or x64) as shown below:

  MSbuild msbuild\mcpp.vcxproj /p:Configuration=Release /p:Platform=x64
