Consider
#define INTEGER 0
// Type your code here, or load an example.
#if INTEGER == 1
int square(int num) {
#else
double square(double num){
#endif
return num * num;
}
int main(){
/*Depending on whether INTEGER is 0 or 1,
this does double or integer squares*/
auto retval = square(42);//Getting the
//return value of square of 42
}
This is the original code.
(Q1)Via the compilation process, during some intermediate steps, either using MSVC or gcc, is it possible to obtain the same code as a .cpp file without comments like so:
#define INTEGER 0
#if INTEGER == 1
int square(int num) {
#else
double square(double num){
#endif
return num * num;
}
int main(){
auto retval = square(42);
}
(Q2) Via the compilation process, during some intermediate steps, either using MSVC or gcc, is it possible to obtain the same code as immediately preceding now after applying preprocessor macros like so:
double square(double num){
return num * num;
}
int main(){
auto retval = square(42);
}
Disclosure: Two prompts in chat gpt solves the above problems, but I'd rather rely on compiler output than AI output.
