## pp-trace User’s Manual

pp-trace is a standalone tool that traces preprocessor activity. It’s also used as a test of Clang’s PPCallbacks interface. It runs a given source file through the Clang preprocessor, displaying selected information from callback functions overridden in a PPCallbacks derivation. The output is in a high-level YAML format, described in pp-trace Output Format.

## pp-trace Usage

### Command Line Format

`pp-trace [<pp-trace-options>] <source-file> [-- <front-end-options>]`

`<pp-trace-options>` is a place-holder for options specific to pp-trace, which are described below in Command Line Options.

`<source-file>` specifies the source file to run through the preprocessor.

`<front-end-options>` is a place-holder for regular Clang Compiler Options, which must follow the <source-file>.

### Command Line Options

-callbacks <comma-separated-globs>

  This option specifies a comma-separated list of globs describing the list of callbacks that should be traced. Globs are processed in order of appearance. Positive globs add matched callbacks to the set, negative globs (those with the ‘-’ prefix) remove callacks from the set.

  By default, pp-trace outputs the trace information to stdout. Use this option to output the trace information to a file.

## pp-trace Output Format

The pp-trace output is formatted as YAML. See https://yaml.org/ for general YAML information. It’s arranged as a sequence of information about the callback call, including the callback name and argument information, for example::

    ---
    - Callback: Name
      Argument1: Value1
      Argument2: Value2
    (etc.)
    ...

With real data::

    ---
    - Callback: FileChanged
      Loc: "c:/Clang/llvm/clang-tools-extra/test/pp-trace/pp-trace-include.cpp:1:1"
      Reason: EnterFile
      FileType: C_User
      PrevFID: (invalid)
      (etc.)
    - Callback: FileChanged
      Loc: "D:/Clang/llvm/clang-tools-extra/test/pp-trace/pp-trace-include.cpp:5:1"
      Reason: ExitFile
      FileType: C_User
      PrevFID: "D:/Clang/llvm/clang-tools-extra/test/pp-trace/Input/Level1B.h"
    - Callback: EndOfMainFile
    ...

In all but one case (MacroDirective) the “Argument” scalars have the same name as the argument in the corresponding PPCallbacks callback function.

### Callback Details

The following sections describe the purpose and output format for each callback.

Click on the callback name in the section heading to see the Doxygen documentation for the callback.

The argument descriptions table describes the callback argument information displayed.

The Argument Name field in most (but not all) cases is the same name as the callback function parameter.

The Argument Value Syntax field describes the values that will be displayed for the argument value. It uses an ad hoc representation that mixes literal and symbolic representations. Enumeration member symbols are shown as the actual enum member in a (member1|member2|…) form. A name in parentheses can either represent a place holder for the described value, or confusingly, it might be a literal, such as (null), for a null pointer. Locations are shown as quoted only to avoid confusing the documentation generator.

The Clang C++ Type field is the type from the callback function declaration.

The description describes the argument or what is displayed for it.

Note that in some cases, such as when a structure pointer is an argument value, only some key member or members are shown to represent the value, instead of trying to display all members of the structure.

#### FileChanged Callback

FileChanged is called when the preprocessor enters or exits a file, both the top level file being compiled, as well as any #include directives. It will also be called as a result of a system header pragma or in internal renaming of a file.

## Building pp-trace

To build from source:

1. Read Getting Started with the LLVM System and Clang Tools Documentation for information on getting sources for LLVM, Clang, and Clang Extra Tools.

2. Getting Started with the LLVM System and Building LLVM with CMake give directions for how to build. With sources all checked out into the right place the LLVM build will build Clang Extra Tools and their dependencies automatically.

   - If using CMake, you can also use the `pp-trace` target to build just the pp-trace tool and its dependencies.
