Directive #undef Foundation

Undefines a #define directive

Syntax
#undef <Symbol>
Parameters
<Symbol>
<Symbol> designates the name of a symbolic constant or pseudofunction which is to be undefined.
Description

The directive #undef revokes a definition created via the #define directive. It can be used in the context of conditional compilation, by which the preprocessor translates different parts of a source code depending on the presence or absence of symbolic constants. This directive is also useful when it is helpful to redefine an existing constant. Without #undef, redefining an existing constant raises a compiler warning. The #undef directive makes it possible to first undefine, then redefine a particular constant. Note that this directive is recognized for #define only, not other directives.

Examples
#undef usage 
// In this example the #define constant DEBUG is undefined. 

#ifdef DEBUG 
   #undef DEBUG 
#endif 

PROCEDURE Main 

   #ifdef DEBUG 
      ? "Source code with Debug Version" 
   #else 
      ? "Final source code" 
   #endif 

RETURN
