Re: Waht is CPP


It should have been metioned with the sites containing C++, for CPP is an alternative way to reference C++, like this: C (P)lus (P)lus, get it?

Let's face it, "CPP" could stand for just about anything, depending on context.

In the context of web marketing, it could stand for "Cost Per Post". (Of course that could also refer to a Bill of Materials for the cost of building a fence.)

On the other hand, in medical terms it could stand for "Chronic Pelvic Pain".

Whatever...

On the other hand (three hands?), the title of the thread is "Waht is CPP", and I had a problem figuring out what the heck "waht" means in any context.

The only thing I could come up with is from the Gospel of Sq'waht in Book 1, The Flight from Sodom:

"And Sq'waht looked upon their wickedness, and lo, it was most vile."

I guess some C++ programs (and programmers?) could be looked upon as being pretty vile.

Regards,

Dave

True, Dave, so true...

However, I was not trying to be vile. (although adding 'get it?', might be perceived that way, but not intentional)

Thanks

CPP is the C Preprocessor...at least, it seems to be the closest context-specific TLA.

Code:
$ cpp --version Usage: cpp [options] file... Options: -pass-exit-codes Exit with highest error code from a phase --help Display this information --target-help Display target specific command line options (Use '-v --help' to display command line options of sub-processes) -dumpspecs Display all of the built in spec strings -dumpversion Display the version of the compiler -dumpmachine Display the compiler's target processor -print-search-dirs Display the directories in the compiler's search path -print-libgcc-file-name Display the name of the compiler's companion library -print-file-name=<lib> Display the full path to library <lib> -print-prog-name=<prog> Display the full path to compiler component <prog> -print-multi-directory Display the root directory for versions of libgcc -print-multi-lib Display the mapping between command line options and multiple library search directories -print-multi-os-directory Display the relative path to OS libraries -Wa,<options> Pass comma-separated <options> on to the assembler -Wp,<options> Pass comma-separated <options> on to the preprocessor -Wl,<options> Pass comma-separated <options> on to the linker -Xassembler <arg> Pass <arg> on to the assembler -Xpreprocessor <arg> Pass <arg> on to the preprocessor -Xlinker <arg> Pass <arg> on to the linker -combine Pass multiple source files to compiler at once -save-temps Do not delete intermediate files -pipe Use pipes rather than intermediate files -time Time the execution of each subprocess -specs=<file> Override built-in specs with the contents of <file> -std=<standard> Assume that the input sources are for <standard> --sysroot=<directory> Use <directory> as the root directory for headers for headers and libraries -B <directory> Add <directory> to the compiler's search paths -b <machine> Run gcc for target <machine>, if installed -V <version> Run gcc version number <version>, if installed -v Display the programs invoked by the compiler -### Like -v but options quoted and commands not executed -E Preprocess only; do not compile, assemble or link -S Compile only; do not assemble or link -c Compile and assemble, but do not link -o <file> Place the output into <file> -x <language> Specify the language of the following input files Permissible languages include: c c++ assembler none 'none' means revert to the default behavior of guessing the language based on the file's extension Options starting with -g, -f, -m, -O, -W, or --param are automatically passed on to the various sub-processes invoked by cpp. In order to pass other options on to these processes the -W<letter> options must be used.

Re: What is CPP


I realise it can be misleading, but it is in the forum description and title because many people include the term in their searches, e.g. [cpp forums].

... and what davis said.
