Re: Implementing C/C++ style #include...

pragma Debug was mentioned a handful of posts back. One of the issues
brought up about it was that it is not portable. (Not a standard pragma)

There are a lot of ways of dealing with debug code or multiple configuration
issues. Which you end up using depends on what you want to get out of it.
One of the down-sides of pragma Debug is that it is a static, compile-time
switch. You can't toggle the debug code on and off as you execute the
program. Sometmes that's a good thing and other times not. For workstation
apps that don't have speed/space/verification issues, I like to have the
debug stuff toggleable while running. For embedded systems or things with
stringent testing requirements (or timing issues, or memory issues, or....
:-) it is nice to get the code removed by the compilerwhen you're ready for
production.
