Re: Compiler directives


Should they be avoided? Why?

I don't like $ifdef - it always leads to less readable code, and it can be abused to make *much* less readable code.

The other ones like $B- etc can be essential in some circumstances. A particular example is when you write components. It's a good practice to put all the required compiler directives in an inc file so that your components will compile properly no matter what options any of your users might change.
