<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>
<blockquote>
<p><STRONG><IMG id="IMG1" height="13" src="theme/bullet.gif" width="13"></STRONG>&nbsp;include
search paths, which define, where to search for files to be included with
<tt>#include&nbsp;&lt;...&gt;</tt> and <tt>#include&nbsp;"..."</tt> directives<br>
<STRONG><img src="theme/bullet.gif" width="13" height="13">&nbsp;</STRONG>which
macros to predefine and which of the predefined macros to undefine<br>
<STRONG><img src="theme/bullet.gif" width="13" height="13">&nbsp;</STRONG>several
other options as for instance to control, whether to enable several extensions
to the C++ Standard (as for instance variadics and placemarkers) or not.</p>

<pre> context(Iterator <span class="keyword">const</span> &amp;first,
Iterator <span class="keyword">const</span> &amp;last, <span class="keyword">char</span> <span class="keyword">const</span> *filename,
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">&quot;&lt;Unknown&gt;&quot;</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;&quot;...&quot;</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();</pre>
<blockquote>
<p>Initializes and returns the starting iterator for the preprocessed token
stream.</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;&quot;...&quot;</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;&quot;...&quot;</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(&quot;.&quot;)</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(&quot;.&quot;)</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>

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 file system directory

<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>

<span class="comment">// support flags for C++98</span>
support_normal = 0x01,
support_cpp = support_normal,
<span class="comment">// support flags for C99</span>

0x08,
<span class="comment"> // the mask for the main language settings</span>
support_option_mask = 0xFF00,<br>
<span class="comment"> // additional fine tuning of the general behavior</span>
support_option_preserve_comments = 0x0100,
support_option_no_character_validation = 0x0200,
support_option_convert_trigraphs = 0x0400,
support_option_single_line = 0x0800,
support_option_prefer_pp_numbers = 0x1000,
support_option_emit_line_directives = 0x2000,
support_option_include_guard_detection = 0x4000,
support_option_emit_pragma_directives = 0x8000
};</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_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 occurences 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
<span class="preprocessor">#define</span> INCLUDE_GUARD_MACRO
...
<span class="preprocessor">#endif</span>
or
<span class="preprocessor">#if</span> !defined(INCLUDE_GUARD_MACRO)
<span class="preprocessor">#define</span> INCLUDE_GUARD_MACRO
...
<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>
</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>
