Also known as pre-processor
In computer science, a preprocessor (or precompiler) is a program that processes its input data to produce output that is used as input in another program. The output is said to be a preprocessed form of the input data, which is often used by some subsequent programs like compilers. The amount and kind of processing done depends on the nature of the preprocessor; some preprocessors are only capable of performing relatively simple textual substitutions and macro expansions, while others have the power of full-fledged programming languages.
プリプロセッサ (英: preprocessor) とは、一般にある処理を行うソフトウェアに対して、データ入力やデータ整形などの準備的な処理を行うソフトウェアのことである。 他の分野の例としては、CADやCAEのデータ処理がある。またワープロソフトウェアにおける漢字変換ソフトウェアもプリプロセッサの一例である。
