>The purpose of the <SPAN

>if_define</SPAN
> property is best explained by an
example. Suppose you want finer-grained control over assertions, say
on a per-package or even a per-file basis rather than globally. The
assertion macros can be defined by an exported header file in an
infrastructure package, using code like the following:</P

CYG_MACRO_END
#else
# define CYG_ASSERT( _bool_, _msg_ ) CYG_EMPTY_STATEMENT
#endif</PRE
></TD
></TR
></TABLE
><P
>Assuming this header file is <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>#include'd</TT
> directly or
indirectly by any code which may need to be built with assertions
enabled, the challenge is now to control whether or not
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>CYGDBG_USE_ASSERTS</TT
> is defined for any given source
file. This is the purpose of the <SPAN
CLASS="PROPERTY"

is disabled then <TT

> will not get
defined. If the option is enabled then
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>CYGDBG_USE_ASSERTS</TT
> will get defined and assertions
will be enabled for the kernel sources. It is possible to use the same
mechanism for other facilities such as tracing, and to apply it at a
finer grain such as individual source files by having multiple options
with <SPAN
CLASS="PROPERTY"
>if_define</SPAN
> properties and multiple symbols such as
<TT
CLASS="VARNAME"
>CYGSRC_KERNEL_SCHED_BITMAP_CXX</TT

><P
>The <SPAN
CLASS="PROPERTY"

valid C preprocessor symbols. If the current option is active and
enabled then three lines will be output to the configuration header
file:</P
