preprocessor
A program invoked by various compilers to process code before compilation. For
example, the C preprocessor, cpp, handles textual macro substitution,
conditional compilation and inclusion of other files. A preprocessor may be used
to transform a program into a simpler language, e.g. to transform C++ into C.
