The '''C preprocessor''' ('''CPP''') is a [[text file]] [[preprocessor|processor]] that is used with [[C (programming language)|C]], [[C++]] and other [[programming tool]]s. The preprocessor provides for file inclusion (often [[header files]]), [[macro (computer science)|macro]] expansion, [[conditional compilation]], and line control.
