All,
I'm looking for a tool that is able to take my code base (which is
full of preprocessor directives) and spit out source code that is
"clean" of any preprocessor directives based on the options I choose
(possibly via some kind of user input screen).
Does such a tool exist? A Visual Studio plugin would be even better.
FYI: I have requirements to rid my code of all conditionally compiled
code.
Thanks,
Dan

Most compilers have an options to output the pre-processes code. -E is
often used for this.

The FAQ has pointers to some tools that might address the
problem better. (Can't vouch for them myself, but the pointers
are probably worth a look.)

Isn't #include a preprocessor directive?
The OP asked for something that would 'spit out source code that is

I never said otherwise! A tool that follows #includes (so it can find
#defines and so on) but does not replace them is more useful than -E.
Once you have expanded #includes you may not even have C anymore! You
certainly won't have portable C. The result might not even compile
using different compiler flags.
Eric was saying that the OP's *real* requirement might be better
served with a tool that is less crude than actually running the
pre-processor.

You're right. Sorry; I'd imagined for a moment that
the O.P. was asking for something useful.
O.P.: Follow Ian's suggestion to get source code that
is completely free from preprocessor directives (perhaps
after stripping out some #line directives), and almost
completely useless. You will never be able to move the
resulting source to another machine, or even to another
compiler. You may not even be able to move it to your
current compiler if you decide to change the compilation
options or apply the latest patches. Have a nice life!

Do you wish that your code should be 'compilable' after you get rid of
all preprocessor directives ? Or you just want to run some static code
analysis tool on it ?

Sorry.. I'll clarify.. Not all preprocessor directives, just
conditionally compiled code (i.e. #ifdef/#ifndef)
