  70. <p>Traditional (pre-standard) C preprocessing is rather different from
  71. the preprocessing specified by the standard. When the preprocessor
  72. is invoked with the
  73. <samp>-traditional-cpp</samp> option, it attempts to emulate a traditional
  74. preprocessor.
  75. </p>
  76. <p>This mode is not useful for compiling C code with GCC,
  77. but is intended for use with non-C preprocessing applications. Thus
  78. traditional mode semantics are supported only when invoking
  79. the preprocessor explicitly, and not in the compiler front ends.
  80. </p>
  81. <p>The implementation does not correspond precisely to the behavior of
  82. early pre-standard versions of GCC, nor to any true traditional preprocessor.
  83. After all, inconsistencies among traditional implementations were a
  84. major motivation for C standardization. However, we intend that it
  85. should be compatible with true traditional preprocessors in all ways
  86. that actually matter.
