Important Notice

The pages on this site contain documentation for very old MS-DOS software, purely for historical purposes. If you're looking for up-to-date documentation, particularly for programming, you should not rely on the information found here, as it will be woefully out of date.

  Directive:  #if, #elif, #else, #endif
 
  Syntax:     #if test expression
                  [text-block]
              [#elif test expression
                  text-block]

  Summary:    Evaluates each test expression associated with an #if or
              #elif directive until a true (nonzero) expression is
              found, then processes the <text-block> associated with
              that test expression. If there is an #else clause, the
              <text-block> associated with it is processed only if no
              test expression in the #if or #elif clauses has a nonzero
              value.
 
              The <test expression> can be any expression that evaluates
              to a constant, and can contain logical operators and the
              defined operator. It cannot use the sizeof operator, type
              casts, or the float or enum types. The <text-block> can
              contain C code or compiler directives.
