You can include the C preprocessor command #include in your assembly language source file. If you do this, you must preprocess the file using the C preprocessor, before using armasm to assemble it. See RealView Compilation Tools for BREW Compilers and Libraries Guide.

armasm correctly interprets #line commands in the resulting file. It can generate error messages and debug_line tables using the information in the #line commands.

Example 2.4 shows the commands you write to preprocess and assemble a file, sourcefile.s. In this example, the preprocessor outputs a file called preprocessed.s, and armasm assembles preprocessed.s.

armcpp -E sourcefile.s > preprocessedfile.s
armasm preprocessedfile.s
