Syntax
Usage Guidelines
Syntax
Source File Inclusion #include, #includenext
Description
Assertions #assert, #unassert
#define mac very very long\ Replacement string
Macro Replacement #define, #undef
Examples
Macros with Parameters
Concatenating Tokens with the ## Operator
Specifying String Literals with the # Operator
Example
Following illustrates the ## operator
Other Macros
Using Macros to Define Constants
Var1 is
#define Arraysize 1000float xARRAYSIZE
Using Constants and Inline Functions Instead of Macros
Predefined Macros
Assertions #assert, #unassert
Code that compiles if the expression evaluates to zero
Conditional Compilation #if, #ifdef, .. #endif
HP aC++ predefines the following predicates
Using the #if Directive
Using the defined Operator
Using the #ifdef and #ifndef Directives
Using the #else Directive
#line 5 myfile
Line Control #line
Example
Iostream Performance Improvement Pragma
This macro enables the following non-standard features
Pragma Directive #pragma and Pragma Operator
