How to output preprocessed code AND compile it (Visual Studio)

Question

I\'m generating preprocessor output (.i) from Visual Studio, but also want to do the actual build. Is there a combination of flags that will both output the .i file without then

Answer 1

Use the switch /P Example- cl /C sample.c

The above will generate a .I file with same name (sample.I). Now to compile the .I file, just rename .I file to .C then do cl /c to compile and generate an object file.
