Description |
The $IfNDef compiler directive starts a section of conditionally compiled code. Only if the specified Symbol has not been defined.
Symbols come in two types. Predefined in Delphi, such as Console when running a console application. And defined by the $Define compiler direcctive.
$IfDef is very useful when developing code, allowing various sections to be compiled when testing.
