Syntax
Description
Assertions #assert, #unassert
Macro Replacement #define, #undef
#define mac very very long\ Replacement string
Examples
Macros with Parameters
Specifying String Literals with the # Operator
Concatenating Tokens with the ## Operator
Example
Following illustrates the ## operator
Using Macros to Define Constants
Other Macros
Var1 is
#define Arraysize 1000float xARRAYSIZE
Using Constants and Inline Functions Instead of Macros
Assertions #assert, #unassert
Predefined Macros
Conditional Compilation #if, #ifdef, .. #endif
HP aC++ predefines the following predicates
Code that compiles if the expression evaluates to zero
Using the defined Operator
Using the #if Directive
Using the #ifdef and #ifndef Directives
Using the #else Directive
Line Control #line
Example
#line 5 myfile
This macro enables the following non-standard features
Iostream Performance Improvement Pragma
Pragma Directive #pragma and Pragma Operator
See page 96 for more information on pragmas
Error Directive #error
Trigraph Sequences
Examples
Line below contains the trigraph sequence ??=
When this line is compiled it becomes
??=line 5 myfile
