GCC C Preprocessor (cpp) Alternatives

    GCC C Preprocessor (cpp) is described as 'The C preprocessor implements the macro language used to transform C, C++, and Objective-C programs before they are compiled. It can also be useful on its own' and is an app in the Development category. There are seven alternatives to GCC C Preprocessor (cpp) for Linux, Windows and Mac. The best alternative is GPP, which is both free and Open Source. Other great apps like GCC C Preprocessor (cpp) are PP - A generic Preprocessor (Free, Open Source), Gema (Free, Open Source), GNU M4 (Free, Open Source) and Filepp (Free, Open Source).
