[alt.sources.wanted] Need: Berkeley C preprocessor

brian@cimage.com (Brian Kelley/1000000) (07/20/90)

We need the Berkeley C preprocessor.  I'm not sure if it has been released
to the public or not.  I have looked through the public tahoe code and
couldn't find it.  

Is it public and if so, where can I get it?


We want to use the MIT makedepend utility for maintaining some of our
Makefiles.   The following bug (described in the mit makedepend manual page)
prevents us from fully using makedepend.

Does anyone have any solutions to this problem?  Does anyone know if the
GNU cccp will work properly in this instance?


   Any help would be appreciated,


    Brian



BUGS
     If you do not have  the  source  for  cpp,  the  Berkeley  C
     preprocessor, then makedepend will be compiled in such a way
     that all #if directives will evaluate to  "true"  regardless
     of  their  actual  value.  This may cause the wrong #include
     directives to be evaluated.  Makedepend should  simply  have
     its own parser written for #if expressions.
