Applies to: General Topics

Answer

Information in this article applies to:

Why can't I use the #define preprocessor text substitution to make #pragma statements for the compiler?

#pragma and #define are both preprocessor statements and each requires its own separate line.

#pragma and #define statements must be on separate lines. The compiler generates an error if the following example is used:

#define asmbegin    #pragma asm
#define asmend      #pragma endasm

asmbegin
asmend
