Boolean clauses in preprocessor directives [message #481281]

Thu, 20 August 2009 06:49

Eclipse User

I am trying to use the preprocessor like the C preprocessor, but I fail.

I've read that boolean clauses ( && and || ) can be used, but this does not work:

//#ifdef DEFINED_VALUE && (DEFINED_VALUE == 2)
//#else
//#endif

How can I make it work?

Thank you.

I think i found a workaround.

//#if (DEFINED_VALUE) && (DEFINED_VALUE == 2)
//#else
//#endif

The code above seems to work. Is that the correct way of doing it?

Hi David,

You can check this on our documentation
http://help.eclipse.org/galileo/topic/org.eclipse.mtj.doc.us er/html/tasks/preprocessProject.html
about preprocessing or you can use the one on the Antenna Preprocessor
page: http://antenna.sourceforge.net/wtkpreprocess.php

Cheers
Diego

Yes, I've already read the documentation, and not only it seems that #ifdef, #ifndef does not accept added complexity, but moreover one cannot define a variable to have a value.

Why cannot I have

#define VALUE "true"

when I can do it throught the project properties?

About the ant preprocessor... I don't know if it can be used "silently" like MTJ does. If it is possible, then I'll take a look.

Thanks for you answer.

Hi David,

MTJ uses antenna preprocessor behind the scenes. So, every thing that goes
with antenna preprocessor backend v3 should be supported by MTJ.

About )#define VALUE "true") if I'm not mistaken, the correct syntax is

#define VALUE=true

Cheers,
Diego

Yes Diego, you're right about the #define issue. I got that solution before reading your message but forgot to post it here.

Thanks for the response anyway, and thanks for the information about the ant task.
