# Preprocessor
The Millfork preprocessor does 2 things:
* filters lines in the input file according to current target's features
* injects the target's feature values as constants into the current file
Despite its similarity to the C preprocessor, it's much more restricted in its power:
* no file inclusion
* no macros
* separate namespaces for the preprocessor and the language (you need to use `#use` to use a preprocessor constant in the code)
### Defining feature values
Feature values are defined in the `[define]` section of the platform definition file.
Each value is a signed 64-bit integer number.
Example:
[define]
WIDESCREEN=1
You can also define feature values using the `-D` command line option.
### Built-in features
The following features are defined based on the chosen CPU and compilation options:
* `ARCH_6502` 1 if compiling for 6502, 0 otherwise
* `ARCH_I80` 1 if compiling for Intel 8080-like processor, 0 otherwise
* `CPU_65C02`, `CPU_65CE02`, `CPU_65816`, `CPU_HUC6280`, `CPU_8080`, `CPU_GAMEBOY`, `CPU_Z80`
1 if compiling for the exact given processor, 0 otherwise
* `CPU_6502` 1 if compiling for any pre-65C02 6502-like processor, 0 otherwise
* `CPUFEATURE_DECIMAL_MODE` 1 if decimal mode is enabled, 0 otherwise
* `CPUFEATURE_65C02`, `CPUFEATURE_65CE02`, `CPUFEATURE_HUC6280`, `CPUFEATURE_65816_EMULATION`, `CPUFEATURE_65816_NATIVE`,
`CPUFEATURE_8080`, `CPUFEATURE_GAMEBOY`, `CPUFEATURE_Z80`,
`CPUFEATURE_6502_ILLEGALS`, `CPUFEATURE_Z80_ILLEGALS` 1 if given instruction subset is enabled, 0 otherwise
* `OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE`, `OPTIMIZE_FOR_SPEED`, `OPTIMIZE_INLINE`, `OPTIMIZE_IPO`
1 if given optimization setting is enabled, 0 otherwise
* `SYNTAX_INTEL`, `SYNTAX_ZILOG` 1 if given assembly syntax is chosen, 0 otherwise; doesn't take this file's pragmas into account
* `USES_ZPREG` 1 if the zeropage pseudoregister is used, 0 otherwise
* `ZPREG_SIZE` size of the pseudoregister in bytes
* `USES_IX_STACK`, `USES_IY_STACK` 1 if given index register is used as a base pointer for stack-allocated variables, 0 otherwise
* `USES_SHADOW_REGISTERS` 1 if interrupts preserve old registers in the shadow registers, 0 otherwise
### Commonly used features
* `WIDESCREEN` 1 if the horizontal screen resolution, ignoring borders, is greater than 256, 0 otherwise
* `CBM` 1 if the target is an 8-bit Commodore computer, 0 otherwise
* `CBM_64` 1 if the target is an 8-bit Commodore computer compatible with Commodore 64, 0 otherwise
* `CBM_264` 1 if the target is an 8-bit Commodore computer from the 264 line, 0 otherwise
* `KEYBOARD` 1 if the target has a keyboard, 0 otherwise
* `JOYSTICKS` the maximum number of joysticks using standard hardware configurations, may be 0
* `HAS_BITMAP_MODE` 1 if the target has a display mode with every pixel addressable, 0 otherwise
* `MOS_6510` 1 if the target uses a MOS 6510-compatible processor (with an I/O port at $0000/$0001)
* `CPM` 1 if the target is CP/M, 0 otherwise
### Built-in preprocessor functions and operators
The `defined` function returns 1 if the feature is defined, 0 otherwise.
All the other functions and operators treat undefined features as if they were defined as 0.
TODO
`not`, `lo`, `hi`, `+`, `-`, `*`, `|`, `&`, `^`, `||`, `&&`, `<<`, `>>`,`==`, `!=`, `>`, `>=`, `<`, `<=`
The following Millfork operators and functions are not available in the preprocessor:
`+'`, `-'`, `*'`, `<<'`, `>>'`, `:`, `>>>>`, `nonet`, all the assignment operators
### `#if/#elseif/#else/#endif`
#if <expr>
#elseif <expr>
#else
#endif
TODO
### `#fatal/#error/#warn/#info`
#error fatal error message
#error error message
#warn warning message
#info informational message
Emits a diagnostic message.
`#fatal` interrupts the compilation immediately.
`#error` causes an error, but the compilation will continue.
`#warn` emits a warning. It may be treated as an error depending on compilation options.
`#info` emits a benign diagnostic message.
### `#use`
Exports a feature value under its name to the parser.
The parser will substitute every use of that name as a variable or constant
with the numeric value of the feature.
The substitution will happen only within the current file.
To use such value in other files, consider this:
#use WIDESCREEN
const byte is_widescreen = WIDESCREEN
### `#pragma`
Changes the behaviour of the parser for the current file.
* `#pragma intel_syntax` interpret assembly using Intel syntax
* `#pragma zilog_syntax` interpret assembly using Zilog syntax
