There are two cases that matter. One is the normal use of the preprocessor as a frontend for the compiler. That other is the special use of generating a preprocessed file, used by tools like distcc and ccache. > PS Where am I supposed to send this mail?

It's fine to send them here also, but it is not required. Many gcc maintainers are signed up as potential mentors with SoC. Make sure to check the web application regularly for comments. Thanks for your interest. Ian
