Mechanism of Pro*C compiler

Question

I am new to Pro*C. I read that Pro*C compiler compiles your .pc file into .c (which is still a source file) and when I open .c I found all the structures written in it. Does Pro*C compiler only compiles EXEC SQL statements which I suppose is not true. Then where all the printfs gone? Were they all converted into structures?

Answer 1

Pro*C does not compile anything. It is a C preprocessor. The output C file is compiled with the compiler of your choice.
