conditional compilation

Hi

I need to create an object of her_t OR his_t inside a namespace. the
choice should be decided based on a macro. did the following
accomplish this?

thank you.

// macro
// uncomment ONLY ONE of the 2 lines below
#define HIS
//#define HER
namespace s_inf
{
....

#ifdef HIS
his_t conn; // FXGame OR FXTrade
#endif

#ifdef HER
her_t conn;
#endif

....
}

the above created his_t and NOT her_t object. right?

// place in a ".h" file and #include it in ".cpp" file and use the
object "conn".

Yeah, It will.
When you start compiling, your code is done.

I've made no secret of the fact that I really dislike the C preprocessor in C++. No aspect of the language has caused me more trouble. No aspect of the language has cause more code I've read to be difficult to understand. I've described it as GOTO's on steroids, and that's what it is!. One argument against abolishing it it that it is useful for conditional compilation when porting code, etc. Well, it seems to me C++ supports that...

To begin with an example... Let's say you were wanting to write code usign early binding to the MSXML library, but then be able to switch between early and late binding at will. Conditional compilation is one possibility, but it's not practical. 1. You have to put a precompiler condition block around every Dim and every function declaration that might need to change, 2. If the code spans multiple modules, the flags have to be changed...

Guys, in the code that follows, why does the method F() still compile, even if DBG is undefined? Inside method G(), the code inside <#if DBG> does not compile (notice that I can write whatever I want in there, I will not receive a compilation error). I do get such an error in F() - because of the garbage I intentionally put there - but F() should not compile in the first place. Am I misusing this attribute?! #undef DBG

Hi, In VS2003 conditional compilation constants and their state could be defined at project level. I was using this to control what features where offered by various builds. i.e. Feature1=true,Feature2=false, ... VS2005 seems to either allow the existance of the constant or not. ie. You must omit a constant not declare it to be false This means that the list no longer declares the state of all the options.

I'm a C++ programmer of many years, trying to get my feet wet in C#. I have a question about conditional compilation. In C++, I would sometimes define a constant in an include file, and then have blocks of code in different source files that were conditionally compiled based on that constant. Now that C# has done away with include files, is there any way of doing the same thing, short of defining the constant multiple times at the head...

I'm trying to use the gpp utility (Gnu points to http://en.nothingisreal.com/wiki/GPP) to do conditional compilation in Python, and I'm running into a problem: the same '#' character introduces Python comments and is used by default to introduce #ifdef etc. lines. Here's an example of what I'm trying to do: #ifdef DEBUG stderr.write("variable is...") #details of msg omitted #endif

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
