We need to run the output from CL preprocessing through a filter before CL's
compilation phase. Can you think of a clean way of doing this?

Here are some details: We are using VS to build SUA (POSIX) applications.
Everything is fine with 32 bit builds, but x64 in the SUA environment
requires a conversion filter called l2ll. The filter l2ll is run on the C
preprocessor output before the source is actually compiled. Normally, people
use makefiles in this environment and the SUA cc compiler script handles
this.

I could create a custom build rule C++ files, but that abandons all of VS'
C++ property pages for options handling. It would be nice to not have go
there.

Hi Demyn,

I have already consulted this issue with our product team, currently we
don't have a workaround to run the CL preprocessing through a filter before
CL's compilation phase within Visual Studio 2005 IDE. I am sorry for the
inconvenience.

Thanks!
