I want to see the output of the Visual C++ Preprocessor on my code -- i.e., the equivalent of gcc -E. For the life of me, I cannot find the relevant compiler switch. How do I accomplish this?

When the C preprocessor is used with the C, C++, or Objective-C compilers, it is integrated into the compiler and communicates a stream of binary tokens directly to the compiler's parser. However, it can also be used in the more conventional standalone mode, where it produces textual output.
A preprocessed *. i file is an output of the C or C++ preprocessor. It is usually this extension which is characteristic of files created as the preprocessor output.
Project properties -> C/C++ -> Preprocessing -> Preprocess to a file: Yes (/P)
The files will be called .i and will be created in the build directory.
