C, Objective-C preprocessor output
From within Xcode:
- Xcode 3: Select the file, then Build → Preprocess.
- Xcode 4: Select the file, then Product → Generate Output → Generate Preprocessed File.
On the command line, gcc -E foo.m
will show you the preprocessed output (just as it does for normal C/C++ files). Of course, this will also expand any #include
or #import
statements you may have in your code.
Use the -E
command-line argument to gcc
or clang
. This is documented as: “Preprocess only; do not compile, assemble or link” and indeed it outputs the preprocessed version to stdout
.
