    Summary: The GNU C-Compatible Compiler Preprocessor
    Description: 
    Cpp is the GNU C-Compatible Compiler Preprocessor.
    The C preprocessor is a 'macro processor' which is used automatically
    by the C compiler to transform your program before actual
    compilation. It is called a macro processor because it allows
    you to define 'macros,' which are abbreviations for longer
    constructs.
    
    The C preprocessor provides four separate facilities that you can use as
    you see fit:
    
    * Inclusion of header files. These are files of declarations that can be
      substituted into your program.
    * Macro expansion. You can define 'macros,' which are abbreviations for
      arbitrary fragments of C code, and then the C preprocessor will replace
      the macros with their definitions throughout the program.
    * Conditional compilation. Using special preprocessing directives,
      you can include or exclude parts of the program according to various
      conditions.
    * Line control. If you use a program to combine or rearrange source files
      into an intermediate file which is then compiled, you can use line
      control to inform the compiler about where each source line originated.
    
    You should install this package if you are a programmer who is searching for
    such a macro processor.
    
    If you have multiple versions of the GNU Compiler Collection
    installed on your system, you will have to type
    cpp-3.4
    in order to explicitly use the GNU C Preprocessor version 3.4.5.
