Modular Macro Processor from Scratch

JMacro - Re-implementation of macro processor

This project is originally created for preprocessing Java code, but I recently realized that you are allowed to run cpp on Java code

Feel free to do this in C. Nothing's implemented yet but work plan

Design

Unlike those monolithic GNU softwares, my project aims to be modular. Builtin modules are listed below:

• Define: Deals with #define directive
• include: Deals with #include directive
• Comment: Strips comments out

Preprocessing Progress

1. Parsing command line arguments
2. Calling modules to expand macros
3. Check if all macros are expanded
   • If not, jump to step 2

Current Plan

• Define macro using #define
• Include other files using #include
• Undefine macro using #undef
• Strip out comments

Further Goals

• Condition macro like #if
• Optimization for Java
• Builtin macros for conveniencing x86 Assembly Language.
• Macros look like functions
