| <h2><a name="library_pragmas"></a>Pragma directives supported by the Wave library </h2> |
| <p>The <tt>Wave</tt> preprocessor library natively supports the <span class="preprocessor">#pragma once</span> and <span class="preprocessor">#pragma message("...")</span> directives. </p> |
| <p>The <span class="preprocessor">#pragma once</span> directive specifies that the file in which the pragma resides will be included |
| (opened) only once. This may be used to optimize |
| the preprocessing of larger compilation units, which include a lot of files. Note though, that the <span class="preprocessor">#pragma once</span> directive is supported only, if the compile time constant <tt>BOOST_WAVE_SUPPORT_PRAGMA_ONCE</tt> was given during compilation of the library.</p> |
| <p>The <span class="preprocessor">#pragma message(...)</span> directive generates a remark containing the given message text. This may be useful to generate status messages directly from the preprocessed file. Note though, that the #pragma message(...) directive is supported only, if the compile time constant <tt>BOOST_WAVE_SUPPORT_PRAGMA_MESSAGE</tt> was given during the compilation of the library. Note additionally, that the body of the message is preprocessed whenever the <tt>BOOST_WAVE_PREPROCESS_PRAGMA_BODY</tt> compile time constant was defined during compilation of the library. </p> |
| <h2><a name="tool_pragmas"></a>Pragma directives supported by the Wave tool</h2> |
| <p>The Wave preprocessor tool additionally supports specific <span class="preprocessor">#pragma</span> directives, which may be used to control some of the tools features. These <span class="preprocessor">#pragma</span> directives are implemented using the <tt>interpret_pragma()</tt> preprocessing hook (see <a href="class_reference_ctxpolicy.html#interpret_pragma">here</a>).</p> |
| <p>All directives |
| described here are usable as conventional <span class="preprocessor">#pragma</span> directives and as <span class="preprocessor">operator _Pragma</span> (if variadics are enabled). So for instance the |
| following directives are functionally identical:</p> |
| <pre> #pragma wave trace(enable) </pre> |
| <p>and </p> |
| <pre> _Pragma("wave trace(enable)")</pre> |
| <p>All <tt>Wave</tt> specific pragma's must have the general form <tt>'wave option[(value)]'</tt>, |
| where <tt>'wave'</tt> is the specific keyword (which may be configured through the <tt>BOOST_WAVE_PRAGMA_KEYWORD</tt> compile time constant, see <a href="compiletime_config.html">here</a> for more information), <tt>'option'</tt> is the concrete |
| pragma functionality to trigger and <tt>'value'</tt> is an optional value to |
| be supplied to the <tt>'option'</tt> functionality. The following table lists |
| all possible pragma functions supported by the <tt>Wave</tt> library. For all recognised pragmas of this general form the interpret_pragma hook function from inside the <a href="class_reference_ctxpolicy.html">preprocessing_hooks</a> policy are called, so that the user of the library is responsible for the correct interpretation of these pragma's. </p> |

| <p>The <tt>option(preserve: ...)</tt> directive allows to control the amount of whitespace generated in the output stream. The value '0' removes any not needed whitespace, the value '1' keeps comments only and the value '2' does not remove any whitespace.</p> |
| <p>The <tt>option(output: ...)</tt> directive allows to specify the name of the file, where the output is generated to. Specify either a valid filename (which will be interpreted relative to directory of the processed file), the value <tt>null</tt> to disable the output at all, or the value <tt>default</tt> to use the output as specified on the command line using the --output/-o option. </p> |
| <p>The pragma values <tt>push</tt> and <tt>pop</tt> may be used for all of the options (<tt>line</tt>, <tt>preserve</tt> and <tt>output</tt>) to store and restore the current value of the corresponding option. </p></td> |
| </tr> |
| </table> |
| <p>All pragma's not listed here but flagged as <tt>'wave'</tt> are currently reported as |
| errors. The handling of all remaining pragma's depends on the compilation constant |
| <code><tt>BOOST_WAVE_RETURN_PRAGMA_DIRECTIVES</tt></code>, which allows to specify, |
| if those pragmas are left unchanged in the output stream or not. Please note, |
| that the operator _Pragma variant is always subject to full preprocessing, before |
| the pragma itself is evaluated. The #pragma variant is subject to preprocessing |
| only, if the <code><tt>BOOST_WAVE_PREPROCESS_PRAGMA_BODY</tt></code> compilation constant |
| was specified during compilation. For more information about the possible compilation |
| constants look <a href="compiletime_config.html">here</a>.</p> |
| <p>It is fairly easy to implement your own <span class="preprocessor">#pragma wave ...</span> directives. All you have to do is to implement your own <tt>interpret_pragma</tt> preprocessing hook function (see <a href="class_reference_ctxpolicy.html#interpret_pragma">here</a>) which should handle the additional directives. For an example of how to do it, you may have a look at the Wave driver application, which implements all of the pragma's listed above with the help of a supplied <tt>interpret_pragma</tt> function (for instance the <span class="preprocessor">#pragma wave timer()</span> directive). </p> |
