ifdef - remove #ifdefs from a file
SYNOPSIS
ifdef [-t] [-dsymbol] [-Dsymbol] [-Usymbol] [-Isymbol] [file]
OPTIONS -D Define symbol permanently
-I Ignore symbol
-U Undefine symbol permanently
-d Define symbol. It may be #undef'ed later
-t Produce a table of the symbols on stdout
EXAMPLES
ifdef -DUNIX file.c >newfile.c
# Define UNIX
ifdef -D_MINIX -UDOS <x.c >y.c
# Define
DESCRIPTION
Ifdef allows conditional code [ #ifdef ... #endif ] to be selectively removed from C files, but at the same time leaving all other C pre-
processor commands intact such as #define, #include etc. Input to ifdef is either the file named as the last argument, or stdin if no file
is named. Output goes to stdout.
Symbols may be defined with the -d or -D flags just like cpp, except that the latter option ignores subsequent #undefs. It is not permit-
ted to give values to symbols. Similarly, -U undefines a symbol and ignores subsequent #definess. Symbols defined with -I are ignored;
any #ifdef using an ignored symbol will be left intact.

unifdef - remove ifdef'ed lines
SYNOPSIS
unifdef [ -t -l -c -Dsym -Usym -idsym -iusym ] ... [ file ]
DESCRIPTION
Unifdef is useful for removing ifdef'ed lines from a file while otherwise leaving the file alone. Unifdef is like a stripped-down C pre-
processor: it is smart enough to deal with the nested ifdefs, comments, single and double quotes of C syntax so that it can do its job, but
it doesn't do any including or interpretation of macros. Neither does it strip out comments, though it recognizes and ignores them. You
specify which symbols you want defined -Dsym or undefined -Usym and the lines inside those ifdefs will be copied to the output or removed
as appropriate. The ifdef, ifndef, else, and endif lines associated with sym will also be removed. Ifdefs involving symbols you don't
specify are untouched and copied out along with their associated ifdef, else, and endif lines. If an ifdef X occurs nested inside another
ifdef X, then the inside ifdef is treated as if it were an unrecognized symbol. If the same symbol appears in more than one argument, only
the first occurrence is significant.
The -l option causes unifdef to replace removed lines with blank lines instead of deleting them.
If you use ifdefs to delimit non-C lines, such as comments or code which is under construction, then you must tell unifdef which symbols
are used for that purpose so that it won't try to parse for quotes and comments in those ifdef'ed lines. You specify that you want the
lines inside certain ifdefs to be ignored but copied out with -idsym and -iusym similar to -Dsym and -Usym above.
If you want to use unifdef for plain text (not C code), use the -t option. This makes unifdef refrain from attempting to recognize com-
ments and single and double quotes.
Unifdef copies its output to stdout and will take its input from stdin if no file argument is given. If the -c argument is specified, then
the operation of unifdef is complemented, i.e. the lines that would have been removed or blanked are retained and vice versa.
SEE ALSO diff(1)DIAGNOSTICS
Premature EOF, inappropriate else or endif.
Exit status is 0 if output is exact copy of input, 1 if not, 2 if trouble.
BUGS
Does not know how to deal with cpp consructs such as
#if defined(X) || defined(Y)

Hello the great gurus :)
I'm quite new to this, so perhaps I'm asking a simple and trivial question (which is good, because you'll answer for sure :))))
Anyway. I have an amount of *.c files (about 100), and what I want to do, is to surround a specific function call with #ifdef and #endif.

Linux, C++, make, macro
In source code, we used some #ifdef macros. How can I enable #ifdef macro in the command line of "make" (NOTE: I do NOT want to change source code or makefile to define that macro from time to time).
e.g. test.cpp:
...
#ifdef TEST1
// code segment for test1

Hi All,
Let's say I have a C file such as follows:
#include <stdio.h>
#if DEFINED
#define EFG 1
int foo()
{
return 0;
}
// comment here
/* comment here */
#elif _NOT_DEFINED
#define ABC 0
int boo()
{
return 0; (2 Replies)
