# Ifndef

# Ifndef in the header, which is critical. For example, you have two C files, both of which include the same header file. During compilation, these two C files need to be compiled into a runable file together, so the problem arises and a large number of declarations conflict.

Put the header file content in # ifndef and # endif. Whether or not your header file will be referenced by multiple files, you must add this. The general format is as follows:

# Ifndef <ID>
# Define <ID>

......
......

# Endif

<Identifier> in theory, it can be freely named, but the "identifier" of each header file should be unique. The naming rule of the identifier is generally that the header file name is in uppercase, followed by an underscore, and the "." In the file name is also changed to an underscore, such as stdio. h.

# Ifndef _ STDIO_H _
# Define _ STDIO_H _

......

# Endif

2. Problems with defining variables in # ifndef (generally not defined in # ifndef ).

# Ifndef AAA
# Define AAA
...
Int I;
...
# Endif
There is a variable definition in it
When I is linked in vc, an I-defined error occurs, and c is compiled successfully.

Conclusion:

(1 ). when you first use this header. cpp file generation. in obj, int I defines in it when another one uses this. cpp is generated [separately] again. when obj is used, int I is defined again, and then two obj are another. cpp also includes this header. If the header is connected together, the definition will be repeated.

(2). After the source program file extension is changed to. c, VC compiles the source program according to the C language syntax, rather than c ++. In C language, if multiple int I is encountered, one of them is automatically considered to be the definition, and the other is the declaration.

(3). the C language and C ++ language have different connection results, and the C ++ language performs global
The default value of the variable is a strong symbol, so the connection error occurs. The C language determines the strength based on the initialization. (Reference)

Solution:

(1). Change the source program file extension to. c.

(2). Recommended solutions:
Only extern int I is declared in. h; defined in. cpp

<X. h>
# Ifndef _ X_H __
# Define _ X_H __
Extern int I;
# Endif/_ X_H __
<X. c>
Int I;

Note:

(1). variables are generally not defined in. H files.

Generally, all the rows in the source program are compiled. However, sometimes you want to compile a part of the content only when certain conditions are met, that is, to specify the compilation conditions for a part of the content. This is "Conditional compilation ". Sometimes, you want to compile a group of statements when a condition is met, and compile another group of statements when the condition is not met.
The most common form of Conditional compilation commands is:
# Ifdef identifier
Procedure 1
# Else
Procedure 2
# Endif

It is used to compile program segment 1 when the identifier has been defined (generally defined using the # define command). Otherwise, compile program segment 2.
The # else part can also be absent, I .e:
# Ifdef
Procedure 1
# Denif

The "program segment" can be a statement group or a command line. This Conditional compilation can improve the universality of the C source program. If a C source program runs on different computer systems, there are some differences between different computers. For example, we have a data type. In Windows, we should use the long type, while in other platforms, we should use the float representation. In this case, we often need to make necessary modifications to the source program, this reduces the versatility of the program. You can compile with the following conditions:
# Ifdef WINDOWS
# Define MYTYPE long
# Else
# Define MYTYPE float
# Endif

If you compile a program on Windows, you can add
# Define WINDOWS

In this way, compile the following command line:
# Define MYTYPE long

If the following command line appears before this set of Conditional compilation commands:
# Define WINDOWS 0

After pre-compilation, the MYTYPE in the program is replaced by float. In this way, the source program can be used in different types of computer systems without any modification. Of course, the above is just a simple case. You can design other conditions for compilation based on this idea.
For example, when debugging a program, you often want to output some required information, but do not output this information after the debugging is complete. You can insert the following Conditional compilation segments in the source program:
# Ifdef DEBUG
Print ("device_open (% p)", file );
# Endif

If you have the following command line before it:
# Define DEBUG

The value of the file pointer is output when the program is running for debugging and analysis. After debugging, you only need to delete the define command line. Some people may think that Conditional compilation can achieve this goal, that is, adding a batch of printf statements during debugging, and deleting the printf statements one by one after debugging. Indeed, this is acceptable. However, when many printf statements are added during debugging, the modification workload is huge. If you use Conditional compilation, you do not need to delete the printf statement one by one. You only need to delete the previous "# define DEBUG" command, at this time, all the Conditional compilation segments using DEBUG as identifiers make the printf statement ineffective, that is, unified control, just like a "Switch.
The following format is also used:
# Ifndef identifier
Procedure 1
# Else
Procedure 2
# Endif

The first line is different from the first form: Change "ifdef" to "ifndef ". It is used to compile program segment 1 if the identifier is not defined; otherwise, compile program segment 2. This form is opposite to the first form.
The usage of the above two forms is similar. You can choose one as needed, depending on your convenience.
Another form is: # if is followed by an expression instead of a simple identifier:
# If expression
Procedure 1
# Else
Procedure 2
# Endif

It is used to compile program segment 1 when the specified expression value is true (non-zero); otherwise, compile program segment 2. You can specify certain conditions in advance so that the program can execute different functions under different conditions.

The function scope is the current file. Because the compilation unit is cpp or c file bit. Take this example:

// Normal code
# Ifdef _ DEBUG
TRACE ("Some infomation ");
# Else
// Now is release version, so do nothing
# Endif
// Normal code

During compilation, all the pre-compilation processes (such as macros) are first expanded before compilation. Therefore, in Debug mode, the code during compilation is:
// Normal code
TRACE ("Some infomation ");
// Normal code

The code in Release mode is:
// Normal code
// Normal code
