CPP is the C language preprocessor which handles the '#' directives present
in C programs (#include, #define, #undef, #if/#ifdef/#else/#elif/#endif, etc).
It is usually run as the first step in the compilation process to bring in
all #include-d source references, handle conditional compilation for the
#if set of directives and replace all #define-d references in the source
code.
