Online session: The X# preprocessor

On Thursday September 30 we will have another online X# session. The topic for this session will be the X# preprocessor and how you can use User Defined Commands (UDC) to simplify your code.
For developers with a Clipper or Xbase++ background the preprocessor will probably have no secrets.
For other developers the preprocessor will be something that they have heard of but most likely have never really used.

The session will cover topics such as:

  • when to use UDCs
  • what is the difference between #command, #xcommand, #translate and #xtranslate
  • match markers and result markers
  • #include files
  • conditional compilation using #ifdef
  • predefined preprocessor macros

We will also show some examples from the X# header files and from the X# runtime source code.

The session will be presented by Robert and will start at 16:00 CEST.

The video of this session is in our youtube channel: https://youtu.be/qvbqxGt0zgQ
