CExpression

CExpression[arg]

is a symbolic representation of code that will format using CForm[arg].

Details and Options

SymbolicC expressions are inert; they evaluate to themselves, staying in an unevaluated form.
SymbolicC expressions can be converted into a C string with ToCCodeString.

To use SymbolicC you first need to load the package:

Wolfram Language code: Needs["SymbolicC`"]

Here the result is generated by CForm:

Wolfram Language code: CExpression[a + b]//ToCCodeString

You can prevent evaluation by using HoldForm:

Wolfram Language code: CExpression[HoldForm[a = b]]//ToCCodeString

You can include a semicolon by inserting the arguments into a list:

Wolfram Language code: {CExpression[HoldForm[a = b]], CExpression[a * b]}//ToCCodeString
