Using cpp to expand macros (was: Re: bug in the class browser)

[holle at almaden.ibm.com]

Please remember that the cpp puts the line number information in there as "#line
<number>" and such. You may want to add the parameter -P to the cpp command as
well as the -C switch in order to keep the comments in place. The same two
sitches (-P -C) work for gcc, too.

Wieeeha! Thanks a million!

I guess you could first do that and then do a g++ -E on that file to expand the
macros....
If this works it will solve a lot of problems!
