Study Notes
Preprocessor Directives in C/C++
- The
#includedirective is used to include the contents of a file in a C/C++ program, allowing for modularity and reuse of code. - Macros are different from functions in C/C++ in that macros are expanded at compile-time, whereas functions are executed at runtime, and macros do not have type checking or parameter validation.
Error Handling
- The
#errordirective is used to issue an error message when the compiler encounters it, allowing for custom error handling and debugging.
Macro Definition
- The
#definedirective is used to define a macro, which is a sequence of tokens that can be replaced with a defined value or expression at compile-time.
Conditional Compilation
- The
#ifdefdirective is used to check if a macro is defined or not, allowing for conditional compilation and customization of code based on macro definitions.
Compiler Directives
- The
#pragmadirective is used to provide additional information to the compiler, allowing for customization of compiler behavior and optimization of code.
Macros
- Parameterized macros and nested macros are two types of macros in C/C++, with parameterized macros allowing for macro arguments and nested macros allowing for macros within macros.
Predefined Macros
- The
__FILE__predefined macro can be used to obtain the current source file name in C/C++.
