Hi. I know this is a simple question, but I just don't know the answer. I would really appreciate it if someone just enlighten me. What is "pragma"? What does it do? I thank you in advance for your help. Andrew Choi Internet Address: c60c-2ca@web.berkeley.edu Standard Disclaimer

What does it do? `#pragma', in ANSI C, is a construct which basically tells the compiler something compiler-specific. Nothing more can be said about what it does without identifying a specific compiler. Typical uses are things like controlling fine points of code generation, altering compiler options, and enabling obscure features. -- If OSI is the answer, what is | Henry Spencer at U of Toronto Zoology the question?? -Rolf Nordhagen| uunet!attcan!utzoo!henry henry@zoo.toronto.edu
