<h2><b><a name="introduction"></a>Introduction</b></h2>
<p>The <tt>boost::wave::context&lt;&gt;</tt> object is the main user visible object of the <tt>Wave</tt> library. It exists to generate the pair of iterators, which while
dereferenced return the preprocessed tokens. Additionally it is used to
control other aspects of the preprocessing, such as </p>

<pre> context(Iterator <span class="keyword">const</span> &amp;first, <br> Iterator <span class="keyword">const</span> &amp;last, <span class="keyword">char</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> *filename, <br> ContextPolicy <span class="keyword">const</span>&amp; ctx_policy);</pre>
<p>Constructs a context object on top of the input stream given
by the pair of auxilliary iterators <tt>[first,&nbsp;last)</tt>.
The iterators should be at least <tt>forward_iterator</tt> type iterators. The filename parameter is to be supplied for
informational purposes only. This string is used for indicating the
token positions inside the input stream, it is not validated against
the file system. If the filename parameter is not given it defaults to <span class="copyright">"&lt;Unknown&gt;"</span>. If
the ctx_policy parameter isn't supplied it defaults to a default
constructed <tt>ContextPolicy</tt> object. </p>
<p>Additionally the macro symbol table is filled with the
predefined macros and the current reference directory is set to the
path of the given filename. If this filename does not reference valid
file system item, the current reference directory is set to the current
system directory. (The current reference directory is the file system
path, which is used as the target directory during the processing of <tt>#include&nbsp;"..."</tt> directives).</p>
<h3>Iterator interface</h3>
<p>The pair of iterators returned by the <tt>context::begin</tt> and <tt>context::end</tt> functions is the main interface
for accessing the preprocessed tokens from the preprocessor engine.
While iterating over the given iterator range <tt>[begin,&nbsp;end)</tt> there are returned the preprocessed C++ tokens, which are generated on
the fly from the underlying input stream. The returned iterators are
conceptually of <tt>forward_iterator</tt> type.</p>
<p><b><a name="iterator_interface_begin"></a></b><b>begin</b></p>
<pre> iterator_type begin();<br> iterator_type begin(Iterator <span class="keyword">const</span> &amp;first,<br> Iterator <span class="keyword">const</span> &amp;last, <span class="keyword"></span>);</pre>
<blockquote>
<p>Initializes and returns the starting iterator for the
preprocessed token stream. The iterator pair given by the parameters&nbsp; <tt>[first,&nbsp;last)</tt> specifies the input sequence to preprocess. The first version of this
function uses the iinput stream as specified by the constructor.&nbsp;</p>
</blockquote>
<p><b><a name="iterator_interface_end" id="iterator_interface_end"></a></b><b>end</b></p>
<pre> iterator_type end() <span class="keyword">const</span>;</pre>
<blockquote>
<p>Initializes and returns the end of stream iterator to
compare with for detecting the end of the preprocessed token stream.</p>
</blockquote>
<h3>Maintain include paths</h3>
<p>The <tt>Wave</tt> library maintains two separate
search paths for include files. A search path for user include files
and a search path for system include files. Any directories specified
with the <a href="#add_include_path">add_include_path()</a> function before the function <a href="class_reference_context.html#set_sysinclude_delimiter">set_sysinclude_delimiter()</a> is called are searched only for the case of <tt>#include&nbsp;"..."</tt> directives, they are not searched for <tt>#include&nbsp;&lt;file&gt;</tt> directives. I.e. these directories are added to the user include search
path. </p>
<p>If additional directories are specified with the <a href="#add_include_path">add_include_path()</a> function after a call to the function <a href="class_reference_context.html#set_sysinclude_delimiter">set_sysinclude_delimiter()</a>,
these directories are searched for all <tt>#include</tt> directives. I.e. these directories are added to the system include
search path.</p>
<p>In addition, a call to the function <a href="class_reference_context.html#set_sysinclude_delimiter">set_sysinclude_delimiter()</a> inhibits the use of the current reference directory as the first search
directory for <tt>#include&nbsp;"..."</tt> directives.
Therefore, the current reference directory is searched only, if it is
requested explicitly with a call to the function <a href="#add_include_path">add_include_path(".")</a>. </p>
<p>Callig both functions, the <a href="class_reference_context.html#set_sysinclude_delimiter">set_sysinclude_delimiter()</a> and <a href="#add_include_path">add_include_path(".")</a> allows you to control precisely, which directories are searched before
the current one and which are searched after.</p>
<p>These functions are modelled after the command line behaviour
implemented by the popular gcc compiler.<br>
</p>

search paths. Note though, that the given path is validated against the
file system. </p>
<p>If the given path string does not form a name of a valid

<p>If the given path string does not form a name of a valid

<p>This functions allows to specify the language mode, in which
the <tt>Wave</tt> library should work. The possible
language modes are defined by the enumerated type <tt>language_support</tt>:</p>
<pre> <span class="keyword">enum</span> language_support {<br> <span class="comment">// support flags for C++98</span><br> support_normal = 0x01,<br> support_cpp = support_normal,<br><span class="comment"><br> // support flags for C99</span><br> support_option_long_long = 0x02,<br> support_option_variadics = 0x04,<br> support_c99 = support_option_variadics | support_option_long_long | 0x08,<br><span class="comment"><br> // the mask for the main language settings</span><br> support_option_mask = 0xFFB0,<br><br><span class="comment"> // additional fine tuning of the general behavior</span>
support_option_emit_contline = 0x0040,<br> support_option_insert_whitespace = 0x0080,<br> support_option_preserve_comments = 0x0100,<br> support_option_no_character_validation = 0x0200,<br> support_option_convert_trigraphs = 0x0400,<br> support_option_single_line = 0x0800,<br> support_option_prefer_pp_numbers = 0x1000,<br> support_option_emit_line_directives = 0x2000,<br> support_option_include_guard_detection = 0x4000,<br> support_option_emit_pragma_directives = 0x8000<br> };</pre>
<p>When used with <tt>support_option_variadics</tt> the support for variadics, placemarkers and the <tt>operator&nbsp;_Pragma()</tt> is enabled in normal C++ mode. When used with the <tt>support_option_long_long</tt> the support for long long suffixes is enabled in C++ mode. </p>
<p>The <tt>support_c99</tt> switches on the C99
language support, which enables variadics, placemarkers, the <tt>operator&nbsp;_Pragma</tt> and long long suffixes by default. Additionally it disables the C++
specific tokens such as <tt>'-&gt;*'</tt>, <tt>'.*'</tt>, <tt>'::'</tt> etc. </p>
<p>The <tt>support_option_...</tt> values are to
be used in conjunction with the main language settings (<tt>support_normal</tt> and <tt>support_c99</tt>) . </p>
<ul>
<li>If the <tt>support_option_insert_whitespace</tt> flag is set,&nbsp;the <tt>Wave</tt> library &nbsp;inserts
additional whitespace between tokens where the concatenated string
representation of the two tokens would form another valid C++ token.
This is very importatnt to avoid mis-interpretations of the generated
output if it is going to be processed by a C++ compiler afterwards.
&nbsp; </li>
<li>If the <tt>support_option_preserve_comments</tt> flag is set, the <tt>Wave</tt> library preserves almost
all comments in the source code. The only comments not preserved are
those contained inside macro definitions. If this flag is not set all
comments are replaced by a single space. </li>
<li>If the <tt>support_option_no_character_validation</tt> flag is set , the <tt>Wave</tt> library does not validate
universal character literals (given in the form of <tt>'u1234'</tt> or <tt>'U12345678'</tt>) to be in the allowed value range.
This flag is merely used for internal purposes by the testing framework
and will be rarely used by a user of the library.</li>
<li>If the <tt>support_option_convert_trigraphs</tt> flag is set, the <tt>Wave</tt> library replaces all
occurrences of trigraph characters with their non-trigraph character
sequence (i.e. <tt>'??='</tt> is replaced by <tt>'#'</tt> etc.) . By default no replacement is performed. </li>
<li>If the <tt>support_option_single_line</tt> flag is set, the <tt>Wave</tt> library will now reprot an
error if the last line of the processed input is not terminated by a
new line. This flag is merely used for internal purposes by the testing
framework and will be rarely used by a user of the library.</li>
<li>If the <tt>support_option_prefer_pp_numbers</tt> flag is set, the <tt>Wave</tt> library is instructed to
correctly identify pp-number's in the input stream. These get
recognized into 'normal' number tokens before they get returned to the
calling application. The flag is set by default and is used merely for
internal purposes and will be rarely reset by a user of the library. </li>
<li>If the <span class="keyword">support_option_emit_line_directives</span> flag is set, the <tt>Wave</tt> library will emit <span class="preprocessor">#line</span> directives in the
generated token stream, if appropriate. This flag is set by default, to
prevent the library from generating <span class="preprocessor">#line</span> directives it must be reset explicitely. </li>
<li>If the <span class="keyword">support_option_include_guard_detection</span> flag is set, the <tt>Wave</tt> library will try to
automatically identify include guards during the processing of a
included file. Files which contained include guards are handled as if
they contained a #pragma once, i.e. these files wonn#t be opened twice,
even if specified in a second <span class="preprocessor">#include</span> statement. </li>
</ul>
<blockquote>
<p>During this process the library will recognize two forms
of include guards:</p>
<pre> <span class="preprocessor">#ifndef</span> INCLUDE_GUARD_MACRO<br> <span class="preprocessor">#define</span> INCLUDE_GUARD_MACRO<br> ...<br> <span class="preprocessor">#endif</span><br>or<br><span class="preprocessor"> #if</span> !defined(INCLUDE_GUARD_MACRO)<br> <span class="preprocessor">#define</span> INCLUDE_GUARD_MACRO<br> ...<br> <span class="preprocessor">#endif</span></pre>
<p> Note, that the parenthesis in the second form are
optional (i.e. <tt>!defined INCLUDE_GUARD_MACRO</tt> will
work as well). The code allows for any whitespace, newline and single
'#' tokens before the <span class="preprocessor">#if</span>/<span class="preprocessor">#ifndef</span> and after the
final <span class="preprocessor">#endif</span> for
the include guard to be recognized.</p>
<p>This flag is on by default, so if you do not want the
library to automatically reconize include guards you will need to reset
this explicitely. </p>
</blockquote>
<ul>
<li>If the <tt>support_option_emit_pragma_directives</tt> flag is set, the <tt>Wave</tt> library will emit all
unknown <span class="preprocessor">#pragma</span> directives to the output. This suport option will be recognized only if
the <tt>BOOST_WAVE_EMIT_PRAGMA_DIRECTIVES</tt> is defined
during compilation to a value not equal to zero (see <a href="compiletime_config.html">here</a> for more
information). </li>
<li>If the <tt>support_option_emit_contlines</tt> flag is set, the <tt>Wave</tt> library will emit all backslash newline sequences encountered in the input. It will generate a <tt>T_CONTLINE</tt> token for each of those character sequences. Please note that this option is supported by the custom SLex lexer module only. See the cpp_tokens example for a working example.</li>
</ul>
<p><strong> </strong>If the parameter <tt>reset_macros</tt> is true the <tt>set_language</tt> function internally
resets the list of defined macros, so please be careful not to call it
after you have defined your own macros already. </p>
