  70. <p>The &lsquo;<samp>#if</samp>&rsquo; directive allows you to test the value of an arithmetic
  71. expression, rather than the mere existence of one macro. Its syntax is
  72. </p>
  73. <div class="smallexample">
  74. <pre class="smallexample">#if <var>expression</var>
  75. <var>controlled text</var>
  76. #endif /* <var>expression</var> */
  77. </pre></div>
  78. <p><var>expression</var> is a C expression of integer type, subject to stringent
  79. restrictions. It may contain
  80. </p>
  81. <ul>
  82. <li> Integer constants.
  83. </li><li> Character constants, which are interpreted as they would be in normal
  84. code.
  85. </li><li> Arithmetic operators for addition, subtraction, multiplication,
  86. division, bitwise operations, shifts, comparisons, and logical
  87. operations (<code>&amp;&amp;</code> and <code>||</code>). The latter two obey the usual
  88. short-circuiting rules of standard C.
  89. </li><li> Macros. All macros in the expression are expanded before actual
  90. computation of the expression&rsquo;s value begins.
  91. </li><li> Uses of the <code>defined</code> operator, which lets you check whether macros
  92. are defined in the middle of an &lsquo;<samp>#if</samp>&rsquo;.
  93. </li><li> Identifiers that are not macros, which are all considered to be the
  94. number zero. This allows you to write <code>#if&nbsp;MACRO<!-- /@w --></code> instead of
  95. <code>#ifdef&nbsp;MACRO<!-- /@w --></code>, if you know that MACRO, when defined, will
  96. always have a nonzero value. Function-like macros used without their
  97. function call parentheses are also treated as zero.
  98. <p>In some contexts this shortcut is undesirable. The <samp>-Wundef</samp>
  99. option causes GCC to warn whenever it encounters an identifier which is
  100. not a macro in an &lsquo;<samp>#if</samp>&rsquo;.
  101. </p></li></ul>
  102. <p>The preprocessor does not know anything about types in the language.
  103. Therefore, <code>sizeof</code> operators are not recognized in &lsquo;<samp>#if</samp>&rsquo;, and
  104. neither are <code>enum</code> constants. They will be taken as identifiers
  105. which are not macros, and replaced by zero. In the case of
  106. <code>sizeof</code>, this is likely to cause the expression to be invalid.
  107. </p>
  108. <p>The preprocessor calculates the value of <var>expression</var>. It carries
  109. out all calculations in the widest integer type known to the compiler;
  110. on most machines supported by GCC this is 64 bits. This is not the same
  111. rule as the compiler uses to calculate the value of a constant
  112. expression, and may give different results in some cases. If the value
  113. comes out to be nonzero, the &lsquo;<samp>#if</samp>&rsquo; succeeds and the <var>controlled
  114. text</var> is included; otherwise it is skipped.
