In [[C (programming language)|C]] and [[C++]], the language provides a simple [[macro preprocessor]] that essentially makes a pass over the [[source code]] before the traditional [[lexing]] and [[parsing]] of the compiler proper. (See [[C preprocessor]].) Source lines that are intended for the preprocessor, such as <code>#define</code> and <code>#include</code>, are referred to as ''[[preprocessor directive]]s''.
