In order to run the compiler as well, you have to tell it what language it's getting, e.g. $ cat a.c | gcc -x c -fsyntax-only - Normally this is determined from the file extension, but that's not available when reading stdin. It doesn't matter (much) when running the preprocessor, which is why it lets you do that without the -x c. zw
