It does.

Are you still giving -c on the command line too? Use -E instead of
that, not in addition to it, otherwise if -c comes later it will
override the earlier -E option (which I am guessing is what's
happening if you're putting -E at the beginning.)

Also be aware the preprocessed output will go into the file specified
by -o, so you might want to change "-c -o foo.o" to "-E -o foo.ii"
