I have the following code
#define PROC_ADD
void main(void)
{
while(1)
{
#ifdef PROC_ADD
// Do this code here then undefined it to run the code in the else
// processing work
#undef PROC_ADD
#else
// now that PROC_ADD has been undefined run this code
// processing work
#endif
}
}
However, it will run the code. But it won't run the code in the else
after the PROC_ADD
has been undefined.
I think the reason could be that you can only define and undefine at compile time, and not at run-time. However, I am not really sure.
You are doing the build time equivalent of:
int x = 1;
int main()
{
if (x)
{
...
x = 0;
}
else
{
...
}
}
ifdef, etc. happen at build time, but for your example, that's not an issue. Once you evaluate the if (either the runtime or build-time form), the decision about which branch to take it made. Changing something after the decision has been made does not change that decision.
