# The devel/tradcpp port

## tradcpp-0.5.3 – traditional (K&R-style) C preprocessor

## Description

    tradcpp is a K&R-style ("traditional") C preprocessor. It was written to
    support historical uses of the C preprocessor for preprocessing things that
    aren't C, as the preprocessors that ship with C compilers are increasingly
    unsuitable for this task and/or don't provide a traditional mode at all.

    In particular, tradcpp preserves whitespace as much as possible, so it can be
    used in contexts where whitespace is significant and/or rearranging whitespace
    causes things to break, such as makefiles. Preprocessing makefiles with cpp is
    a fairly common property of sufficiently old legacy build systems, including
    old versions of Emacs and anything that uses imake.
