Package: cproto Version: 4.7x-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I'm trying to work around some explosive source code (src:tgif 1:4.2.5-2)
with something like
cproto -E 'cpp' -D'ARGS_DECL(...)=__VA_ARGS__' -{P,F,C}"int f(a, b)" -a exec.c
Quoth cproto(1):
-E cpp Pipe the input files through the specified C preprocessor command
when generating prototypes. By default, the program uses /lib/cpp.
-E 0 Do not run the C preprocessor.
This doesn't appear to hold at all. /lib/cpp isn't a valid preprocessor,
but even supplying -E cpp or -E /bin/cpp I see no preprocessing happen
(and don't see an execve() in strace at all).
It looks like -E working at all is guarded on #ifdef CPP?
It would be nice, for future readers, to say "-E ... ignored",
if this is intended.
Best,
