Using an Identifier After #endif

(ISO C, §6.10.1) The C compiler can accept identifier tokens after #endif and #else. This extension helps you match an #endif statement with its corresponding #if, #ifdef, or #ifndef statement, as shown here:



#ifdef __MWERKS__ 


# ifndef __cplusplus 


 /* 


 * . . . 


 */ 


# endif __cplusplus 


#endif __MWERKS__

To use this feature, disable the ANSI Strict setting in the Language panel.

Tip: If you enable the ANSI Strict setting (thereby disabling this extension), you can still match your #ifdef and #endif directives. Simply put the identifiers into comments, as sown in following example:



#ifdef __MWERKS__ 


# ifndef __cplusplus 


 /* 


 * . . . 


 */ 


# endif /* __cplusplus */ 


#endif /* __MWERKS__ */
