during the build too many weird C preprocessors (cpp) are built; it would be good to consolidate that down to one. the UNO IDL compiler is shipped with the SDK and currently uses "ucpp" preprocessor, so we cannot get rid of that one. others such as the "cpp.lcc" built in soltools could probably be replaced with ucpp, or usage of the system cpp (latter requires further investigation).

YES! > others such as the "cpp.lcc" built in soltools could probably be > replaced with ucpp, or usage of the system cpp (latter requires > further investigation). I have tried that once. The problem is that the various CONCATn macros used in scp2 often produce strings that are not valid preprocessor tokens (e.g., library names with dot in them), thus causing errors. It would be interesting to try it with ucpp. Anyway, the problem should not be hard to fix by introducing a new family of macros, let's say CONCATSTRn, that shall stringify the args and put them side by side (e.g., CONCATSTR3(foo,..,so) -> "foo" "." "so"), and teaching pre2par.pl to handle that.
