;;; Commentary:

;; This package gives you the ability to run the C macro preprocessor
;; on the current region, expanding macros within it.  This can be useful
;; when you're not sure of the value or expansion of such macros and want
;; to make sure they're doing what you think they're doing.
;;
;; This package supports the following option variables:
;;
;; c-macro-preprocessor --- program to be used for macro expansion.
;; c-macro-options --- command-line options to pass it.

;;; Code:

(defvar c-macro-preprocessor "/lib/cpp"
  "*Command to be used for C preprocessing.")

(defvar c-macro-options nil
  "*List of options to use in C preprocessing.
Each string in the list becomes a separate argument to the preprocessor.
These arguments precede the filename.
Use the `-I' option here to specify directories for header files.")

(defun c-macro-expand (beg end)
  "Display the result of expanding all C macros occurring in the region.
The expansion is entirely correct because it uses the C preprocessor.
You can use the variables `c-macro-preprocessor' and `c-macro-options'
to customize how preprocessing is done, or specify header file directories
and macros to predefine."
