How do I see a C/C++ source file after preprocessing in Visual Studio?

by

cl.exe, the command line interface to Microsoft Visual C++, has three different options for outputting the preprocessed file (hence the inconsistency in the previous responses about Visual C++):

If you want to preprocess to a file without #line directives, combine the /P and /EP options.
