I know that C preprocessor exists as part of compiler. But I’m looking for an independent program. Is there any such tool?

    It’s often called cpp. For example, on my Linux box:

    
CPP(1)                                GNU                               CPP(1)

NAME
       cpp - The C Preprocessor

SYNOPSIS
       cpp [-Dmacro[=defn]...] [-Umacro]
           [-Idir...] [-iquotedir...]
           [-Wwarn...]
           [-M|-MM] [-MG] [-MF filename]
           [-MP] [-MQ target...]
           [-MT target...]
           [-P] [-fno-working-directory]
           [-x language] [-std=standard]
           infile outfile

    This particular one is part of gcc and is available for a wide variety of platforms.
