Abstract
We have already introduced the C preprocessor directives #include and #define for file inclusion and symbol definition capabilities. In this chapter, we expand the discussion to include the #undef directive, and the use of the conditional compilation directives #if, #ifdef, #ifndef, #else and #endif. In addition, parameters for the #define directive are introduced to yield a more powerful macro facility.
