Seriously, though, in my case I know that certain TU do not use the<br>
preprocessor. I do some optimizations at the build system level but<br>
also want to pass this information along to the compiler in case it<br>
wants to do some as well. It may not do any currently (e.g., because<br>
such preprocessed TU are virtually non-existent and its not worth the<br>
effort). But maybe it makes sense to "reserve" the name even if it's<br>
just an alias for 'c++-module'. But I am also happy to always pass<br>
'c++-module' (and perhaps 'c++' for consistency).<br>
<br>
Also, on the topic of expectations: I assume that such a preprocessed<br>
TU can still contain comments and line continuations. Clang's -cpp-output<br>
handles this but not GCC's (where I use -fdirectives-only to indicate<br>
that the source is only partially preprocessed).<br>
