    <p>Its time to ask: I need a C preprocessor library.</p> <p>There's an identical <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6835699/c-preprocessor-library">question</a> on this, but I don't think that relying on an external application like <em>cpp</em> will solve my needs.</p> <p>I'm trying to analyse a C-style language which supports C preprocessor. The information I need to produce is the list of preprocessor symbols that the underlying source code depends on. Optionally, I need to solve <em>conditional</em> preprocessor directives, given a set of defined preprocessor symbols and include paths.</p> <p>My initial solution was my own regex-based implementation, but (as you can imagine) it cannot work in all cases. Macro substitutions, multiple parenthesis, string concatenation, macro arguments are examples on what I shall face to get it right. You can find my (partial) implementation <a href="https://codereview.stackexchange.com/questions/6714/c-preprocessor-regular-expression">here</a>.</p> <p>So, I'm looking a library (preferably on .NET, but it is not required) which allow me to get information about all preprocessor symbols declared (or supposed to be declared) in source code and their definition (hence their inter-dependencies).</p> <p>Are there any solution?</p> <hr> <p>The main goal would be the management of OpenGL Shading Language sources. One of the used techiques to manage those source is the preprocessor conditional (using standard C preprocessor): one single source for getting many shader programs without using run-time conditionals (improve performances).</p> <p>The preprocessor information is used for source analysis, source editing (especially syntax grayout functionality), and (more important) compiled shader object caching.</p> <p>Compiled shader object caching allow faster program linkage by caching objects composing future programs (avoid repeated compilation of the same sources). Caching is based on the source text and the compilation parameters (indeed the defined preprocessor symbols). Indeed the application shall analyse the source code for getting a list of symbols used in the conditional: this list is used for computing cache hash values.</p>

    1. COCould you please explain *why* cpp can't scratch your particular itch? This would be very important information for suggesting a different solution.

    2. COYou mentioned that you'd prefer something based on .NET. Is there any particular reason why? cpp *is* the C preprocessor that's a part of the GCC collection of programs and, as I recall, can be had in cygwin on Windows. (I'm presuming that since you're asking for .NET that you're on Windows. Feel free to correct me.)

    3. CO@TaylorPrice Correct. But it is not a requirement: I can do some IPC with an external process.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
