Generating Preprocessor file

[linux_newbie79]

Hi,

I would like to know how to generate preprocessor file for all the source files in my project.

For example, if my application contains only hello.c, I can use
gcc -E hello.c > hello.i

But if my application contains two files hello.c, hello_new.c how to generate preprocessor file individually?

Thanks in Advance

Sure, be glad to.

Your first step is to learn bash scripting. If you don't know how, google this:

bash tutorial

It is very likely that someone else in this forum will jump in with his or her recommendation for a favorite tutorial, and that would be wonderful.

Once you know bash scripting, then you're basically home. A handy tool is basename. For example, the command

basename hello.c .c

outputs

hello

So it will be easy to tack on the .i.

Once you've become familiar with bash scripting, if you have difficulty, post your script as you've written it so far and come back with specific questions.

Hope this helps.
