cDEC$ DEFINE
cDEC$ UNDEFINE
The DEFINE directive creates a symbolic variable whose existence or
value can be tested during conditional compilation. The UNDEFINE
directive removes a defined symbol.
The DEFINE and UNDEFINE directives take the following forms:
cDEC$ DEFINE name [=val]
cDEC$ UNDEFINE name
c Is one of the following: C (or c), !, or *.
name Is the name of the variable.
val Is an INTEGER(4) value assigned to "name".
DEFINE and UNDEFINE create and remove variables for use with the IF
(or IF DEFINED) directive. Symbols defined with the DEFINE
directive are local to the directive. They cannot be declared in
the Fortran program.
Because Fortran programs cannot access the named variables, the
names can duplicate Fortran keywords, intrinsic functions, or
user-defined names without conflict.
To test whether a symbol has been defined, use the IF DEFINED
(name) directive. You can assign an integer value to a defined
symbol. To test the assigned value of "name", use the IF
directive. IF test expressions can contain most logical and
arithmetic operators.
Attempting to undefine a symbol which has not been defined produces
a compiler warning.
The DEFINE and UNDEFINE directives can appear anywhere in a
program, enabling and disabling symbol definitions.
For compatibility, !MS$DEFINE and !MS$UNDEFINE can be used in place
of cDEC$ DEFINE and cDEC$ UNDEFINE.
Examples:
Consider the following:
!DEC$ DEFINE testflag
!DEC$ IF DEFINED (testflag)
write (*,*) 'Compiling first line'
!DEC$ ELSE
write (*,*) 'Compiling second line'
!DEC$ ENDIF
!DEC$ UNDEFINE testflag
