is a symbolic representation of a preprocessor if conditional.
CPreprocessorIf[cond,true,false]
represents the true and false cases.

CPreprocessorIf[cond]
is a symbolic representation of a preprocessor if conditional.
CPreprocessorIf[cond,true,false]
represents the true and false cases.
Details and Options
- SymbolicC expressions are inert; they evaluate to themselves, staying in an unevaluated form.
- SymbolicC expressions can be converted into a C string with ToCCodeString.
Examples
Basic Examples (1)
To use SymbolicC you first need to load the package:
Needs["SymbolicC`"]This creates a preprocessor if conditional directive:
CPreprocessorIf["DEBUG"]//ToCCodeStringThis creates an entire if/else/endif set of statements:
CPreprocessorIf["DEBUG", CAssign["a", "true"], CAssign["a", "false"]]//ToCCodeStringThis adds a comment to the if directive:
CPreprocessorIf[{"DEBUG", CComment["debug code", " "]}, CAssign["a", "true"], CAssign["a", "false"]]//ToCCodeStringTech Notes
