Michael Kohl 🇦🇹🇹🇭A tale in 3 pictures. In which our hero wonders if he can and doesn't stop to ask if he should.
necrophcodr@citizen428 some slight modifications, and you can use cpp -E + that to make a static site generator using the preprocessor.
@necrophcodr Funny you'd say that, because this (`clang -I. -P -E`) but in another context is how this little side quest started.
@citizen428 I mean it has simple uses too, like adding simple include statements in any file, or, as you've shown, macros.
I've used it to make a lockfile for my Containerfile, and I'd just build using cpp -E <file> | docker build -f- <...>

XilokarSo, it's some kind of chtml...
(you'll definitively want to put the ```#define HTML``` in a .h.tml file included by abuse.c)
Hannah Kiekens@citizen428 Glorious
@hannahk The things we do to avoid actual work, eh? :-)
Ryan Castellucci (they/them) 
@citizen428 I highly recommend combining this with a MAP macro.
@ryanc Please don’t give me ideas 😂
@citizen428 Fine. I will not inflict further ideas upon you, but why do you hate fun?
@ryanc I'm just trying to avoid getting nerd sniped into spending any more time on this. I have a much bigger preprocessor abuse planned :D
Siguza@citizen428 omg, you even serve it right from C code?! God, I want to unsee this...
@siguza Maximum cursed is what I was going for, so yes. If you prefer CGI and another web server you could use kcgi:
Evelyn Estelle@citizen428 Thanks for sharing the code.
In a weird way, this is exactly what the C preprocessor is designed to do.
I still don't want to debug a bigger website though. 
@[email protected] $DEITY no, I'd never want to actually work with this outside of a little late-night hack session.
