OS X中的“ C语：错误：无输入文件”

Question

Following this solution , I use #include "...frontend/tokens.mll" in my lexer.mll , then I use cpp -P frontend/lexer.mll -o frontend/gen/lexer.mll to generate the complete mll file. This solution worked before under Ubuntu.

Now, I try to do this in Mac OS 10.11.1 , it gives an error clang: error: no input files .

gcc -v returns

Configured with: --prefix=/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2.1
Apple LLVM version 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.29)
Target: x86_64-apple-darwin15.0.0
Thread model: posix
InstalledDir: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin

I don't see where I use XCode, or PCH file. Does anyone know how I should configure the environment to make cpp work?

Edit 1:

cpp --version returns

Apple LLVM version 7.3.0 (clang-703.0.29)

And an example from the comment:

Answer 1

So if I understand correctly what you are trying to do, you want to run the c preprocessor on a file to produce text output which will be stored in another file. I don't know why but, here is a command that will accomplish that :

clang -x c frontend/lexer.mll -E -P -o frontend/gen/lexer.mll

This invokes clang; sets the language to C ( -xc ); gives your file; asks for preprocessing only, no compile or link ( -E ); no line info in the output ( -P ), stores it in frontend/gen/lexer.mll

Xcode is an IDE that runs clang. If you are working in ocaml it may not be helpful to use Xcode since it wouldn't know what to do with ocaml files.

Answer 2

It could be a bug from clang, as this one works for me:

$ cpp -P xxx yyy
$ cat yyy
from zzz

and

$ clang --version
Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)

Answer 3

1 - open XCode

2 - Create a new XCode project

3 - choose tab of OSX

4 - choose Application

5 - choose Command Line tool

6 - in next window you have to enter product name etc

7 - and choose c++ as a language

Answer 4

'cpp -P xxx -o yyy'您需要它成为->'echo“ blahblahblah.cpp”> xxx'
