<h4 class="subsection">4.2.2 If</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p>The ‘<samp><span class="samp">#if</span></samp>’ directive allows you to test the value of an arithmetic
|
|
expression, rather than the mere existence of one macro. Its syntax is
|
|
|
|
<pre class="smallexample"> #if <var>expression</var>
|
|
|
|
<var>controlled text</var>
|
|
|
|
#endif /* <var>expression</var> */
|
|
</pre>
|
|
<p><var>expression</var> is a C expression of integer type, subject to stringent
|
|
restrictions. It may contain
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Integer constants.
|
|
|
|
<li>Character constants, which are interpreted as they would be in normal
|
|
code.
|
|
|
|
<li>Arithmetic operators for addition, subtraction, multiplication,
|
|
division, bitwise operations, shifts, comparisons, and logical
|
|
operations (<code>&&</code> and <code>||</code>). The latter two obey the usual
|
|
short-circuiting rules of standard C.
|
|
|
|
<li>Macros. All macros in the expression are expanded before actual
|
|
computation of the expression's value begins.
|
|
|
|
<li>Uses of the <code>defined</code> operator, which lets you check whether macros
|
|
are defined in the middle of an ‘<samp><span class="samp">#if</span></samp>’.
|
|
|
|
<li>Identifiers that are not macros, which are all considered to be the
|
|
number zero. This allows you to write <code>#if MACRO<!-- /@w --></code> instead of
|
|
<code>#ifdef MACRO<!-- /@w --></code>, if you know that MACRO, when defined, will
|
|
always have a nonzero value. Function-like macros used without their
|
|
function call parentheses are also treated as zero.
|
|
|
|
<p>In some contexts this shortcut is undesirable. The <samp><span class="option">-Wundef</span></samp>
|
|
option causes GCC to warn whenever it encounters an identifier which is
|
|
not a macro in an ‘<samp><span class="samp">#if</span></samp>’.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The preprocessor does not know anything about types in the language.
|
|
Therefore, <code>sizeof</code> operators are not recognized in ‘<samp><span class="samp">#if</span></samp>’, and
|
|
neither are <code>enum</code> constants. They will be taken as identifiers
|
|
which are not macros, and replaced by zero. In the case of
|
|
<code>sizeof</code>, this is likely to cause the expression to be invalid.
|
|
|
|
<p>The preprocessor calculates the value of <var>expression</var>. It carries
|
|
out all calculations in the widest integer type known to the compiler;
|
|
on most machines supported by GCC this is 64 bits. This is not the same
|
|
rule as the compiler uses to calculate the value of a constant
|
|
expression, and may give different results in some cases. If the value
|
|
comes out to be nonzero, the ‘<samp><span class="samp">#if</span></samp>’ succeeds and the <var>controlled
|
|
text</var> is included; otherwise it is skipped.
