You must be thinking of POC. The "Portable Objective-C Compiler" generates
C or C++ code that is then compiled by your favorite compiler. Apple's gcc
based implementation of Objective-C is NOT a pre-processor exactly. It is
tightly integrated with the gcc code generator using exactly the same
internal API that the C and C++ front ends use. Objective-C is just another
front end for the gcc code generator back end. No *.c file or stream is
ever generated during the compilation of Objective-C with gcc.
See the gcc Objective-C front end source code for examples.
