- Abstract

1. Purpose of XCC
The eXtended C Comments (XCC) source file format is a C source file format where
block of text starting with /*XCC
or //XCC
are processed in a special way.
Processing is performed by the xccgen
program available as part of the [CDT
index.html] package. The purpose of the XCC format is:
- Distribute C source code in multiple files, based on a single file.
- Interpret comments in structure definitions to generate supporting code.
- Enable selected comments to be post-processed to build code documentation.
