The C Preprocessor is an interesting standard. It appears to be
derived from the de-facto behaviour of the first preprocessors, and
has evolved over the years. Implementation is therefore difficult.
+
JCPP is a complete, compliant, standalone, pure Java implementation
of the C preprocessor. It is intended to be of use to people writing
-C-style compilers in Java using tools like sablecc, antlr, JLex, CUP
-and so forth (although if you aren't using sablecc, you need your
-head examined). This project has has been used to successfully
-preprocess much of the source code of the GNU C library. As of
-version 1.2.5, it can also preprocess the Apple Objective C library.
