-qppline

In IBM® XL C/C++ for AIX® 16.1.0 or earlier releases, the -q[no]ppline option enables or disables the generation of #line directives when used with the -E or -P option.

In IBM Open XL C/C++ for AIX 17.1.3, use -E -P to suppress emitting #line directives to achieve a similar effect to -qnoppline.
Note: The -P option in IBM Open XL C/C++ for AIX 17.1.3 has a completely different meaning from the -P option IBM XL C/C++ for AIX 16.1.0. In IBM Open XL C/C++ for AIX 17.1.3, the behavior of -P is consistent with that of GCC, which disables line markers in the preprocessed output for the compiler.
