Target Language Compiler

Input File Control

The input file control directives are

• %include string
  %addincludepath string
  

%include

The %include directive searches the path for the target file specified by string and includes the contents of the file inline at the point where the %include statement appears.

%addincludepath

The %addincludepath directive adds an additional include path to be searched when the Target Language Compiler references %include or block target files. The syntax is

• %addincludepath string
  

The string can be an absolute path or an explicit relative path. For example, to specify an absolute path, use

• %addincludepath "C:\\directory1\\directory2"     (PC)
  %addincludepath "/directory1/directory2"         (UNIX)
  

To specify a relative path, the path must explicitly start with ".". For example,

• %addincludepath ".\directory2"                   (PC)
  %addincludepath "./directory2"                   (UNIX)
  

When an explicit relative path is specified, the directory that is added to the Target Language Compiler search path is created by concatenating the location of the target file that contains the %addincludepath directive and the explicit relative path.

The Target Language Compiler searches the directories in the following order for target or include files:

1. The current directory
2. Any %addincludepath directives
3. Any include paths specified at the command line via -I

Typically, %addincludepath directives should be specified in your system target file. Multiple %addincludepath directives will add multiple paths to the Target Language Compiler search path.
