This is an obsolete project

This project adds preprocessing capability to java programs. Antpp does not implement a preprocessor, it calls the well-known cpp (C PreProcessor). Antpp is a collection of ant tasks.

Usage

Copy antpp-bin.jar into the lib directory of Ant.

It is necessary to define the tasks at the beginning of the build.xml file:

<taskdef name="cpp"          classname="hu.jataka.antpp.Cpp"/>
<taskdef name="cppdel"       classname="hu.jataka.antpp.CppDel"/>

Cpp

Calls the preprocessor for a specified file, or for all the *.x* files in a directory. It ignores files with the following patterns: *~, .#*, *.xml

It replaces the '.x' part of the name with '.' For example: Main.xjava -> Main.java

It creates read-only files (if the extension is not jad), because modifying the generated files by hand is not a good idea.

Parameters

• file: Name of the file to be preprocessed.
• dir: Name of the directory, to search for files to be preprocessed.
• macros: List of macros to be passed to cpp. tags can also be used.

Example

<target name="preprocess" depends="init">
    <cpp dir="src" macros='DEBUG,VER=100' />
</target>

Or:

<target name="preprocess" depends="init">
    <cpp dir="src">
        <macro name="DEBUG" />
	<macro name="VER" value="100" />
    </cpp>
</target>

CppDel

Deletes the generated files (useful as a part of the clean process).

Parameters

• dir: Directory to search for generated files.

Example

<target name="clean">
    <cppdel dir="src" />
</target>
