somehow access the ccsc preprocessor output file

Hi,

With the gcc compiler if we put

Code:
gcc -E


We get the c code after the preprocessing step. By curiosity, I was wondering if one could do the same thing with the CCS C Inc compiler. I tried to look a bit in the manual in particular in the file format section and in the invoking the command line compiler section but I didn't found anything, also I didn't understand so well so maybe I missed something. Does someone know how to do this (getting the C file just after the preprocessing step, i.e. the same we would get with gcc -E with gcc compiler?)
In my opinion there should be a way to do this.

I've wished the same thing many times....
Historically for example being able to access the macro expansion phase can be a terribly useful debugging tool.

However key is that CCS doesn't actually generate files for the intermediate steps. It is a single pass compiler, so doesn't do separate passes with output files. You can ask for it to leave it's scratch files undeleted, but these don't contain the earlier workings. Sad
