# 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
|
||
|
||
* `ARCH_6502` – 1 if compiling for 6502, 0 otherwise
|
||
|
||
* `ARCH_Z80` – 1 if compiling for Z80, 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
|
||
|
||
* `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
|
||
|
||
### 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
|
