[Tinyos-help] Question on preprocessing in NesC

[kwright at EECS.Berkeley.EDU]

See where I said 'in general' below? That's because I was hedging... but someone asked (actually I got teased for not giving a good answer) so I looked more for who includes tos.h. And here it is:

tos.h is included by the perl script ncc. It adds an option onto the command line before invoking the compiler.  Check out ncc where is does this:

unshift @new_args, "-fnesc-include=tos";

Then look in nesc-main.c for 'nesc-include' and you'll see where nescc includes it.
