/EP - Copy Preprocessor Output

  • Article

This option preprocesses the C source file and copies preprocessor output to the standard output device. It is similar to the /E - Copy Preprocessor Output option. Unlike the /E option, however, the /EP option does not add #line directives to the output.

Preprocessed output is identical to the original source file, except that the compiler carries out all preprocessor directives, performs all macro expansions, and removes comments. You can use the /EP option with the /C option to preserve comments in the preprocessed output.

The /EP option suppresses compilation.
