A CoolBasic preprocessor.

• C-like macro flags and conditional compilation
• recursive macro expansion
• useless debugging features (#pragma dumbdebug)

Requires Python 3.x to run, 3.3 recommended.

0. Install Python.
1. Extract the hacked editor & compilation scripts to your CoolBasic directory.
2. Clone this repository to IDE/cbpp, so cbpp.py can be located at IDE/cbpp/cbpp.py.
3. Add your python executable location to IDE/pythonpath (the file needs to be created). The file has to contain just one line: the full name of the python exe, e.g. C:\Python33\python.exe.

You can now compile your source code as usual from the CoolBasic editor.

#define BANANA
#ifdef BANANA
	print "banaani lienee määritelty"
#endif

#ifndef BANANA
	print "no fruit"
#else
	print "yummy"
#endif

#define SQUARE(_a) (_a * _a)

print "5^2 = " + SQUARE(5)

Please note that the macro parameter names shouldn't occur in the macro expansion, in other words, this is illegal:

#define TUPLAT(luku) (luku+luku)

luku = 10
luku2 = TUPLAT(luku) // stupid preprocessor gets stuck in an infinite loop
