#error

Preprocessor diagnostic directive

Syntax

#error error_text

Parameters

• error_text

Description

#error interrupts compiling to display error_text when compiler finds it, and then parsing continues.

This keyword must be surrounded by an #if <condition> ...#endif, so the compiler can reach #error only if <condition> is met.

In any case, the final status will be "Failed to compile".
