Re: [creduce-dev] Update to CMake-Based Build System

If I recall, cppp lacks a way to print the full list of possible definitions, which makes the indexing feature of a C-Reduce pass hard to implement.
This is the one I was looking at, I don't know anything about Mike Ernst's version:

Anyhow my view is that this is a bit of a niche C-Reduce feature, perfectly fine to just disable it on Windows until we come up with a better solution!

I have not tested cccp but it seems to be from the GNU family. I suspect that it will not work on Windows either.

Instead I have found cppp (https://homes.cs.washington.edu/~mernst/software/cppp) which is a Perl script which should work on Windows. I will test later and come back with feedback.

Thanks!


Unfortunately it does not work natively on Windows because "unifdef" cannot
be build with Visual Studio. Some dependencies are Posix only.  I would
suggest to make the build of "unifdef" conditional and to show a warning if
its build is deactivated. The user could then build it by themselves using
Cygwin etc.


Thanks!  I wonder if we could replace unifdef with a similar tool that does
build on Windows.  (I recall cccp, but I don't know if it is Windows-friendly.)
