Bug ID: 143371
Summary: IDL preprocessor ( and possibly other tools ) should
have flag to enable/disable use of C preprocessor
Classification: Unclassified
Product: WebKit
Version: 528+ (Nightly build)
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: NEW
Severity: Enhancement
Priority: P2
Component: Tools / Tests
Assignee: webkit-unassigned at lists.webkit.org
Reporter: scoul at cisco.com

Most scripts processed by perl during build involve the invocation of the C preprocessor ( via gcc etc. ) for each script. As per bug #143370 this can have a major impact on build times. A proposal is made in #143370 to remove the use of C preprocessor directives.
The next step would be to remove the use of the preprocessor.
In an ideal world, all C directives could be removed from all files, and preprocessor.pm be replaced with a simple perl chomp() in all the tools.
As a first step, I propose adding a command option to replace preprocessor with chomp only for certain cases and gradually enable it, starting post but #143370 with the IDL preprocessor.
