The pre-processor need not implement macros, conditional compilation, etc. (E.g. for COBOL, the REPLACING option need not be implemented ).
<br>
<br>The pre-processor need not check the validity of the resultant source. The pre-processor's job is to insert te specified files into the source at the required points. Whether the result is syntacticly valid or not is a matter for the compiler/interpreter when it is presented with the source.
