Preprocessor Directives | C++ For Java Devs Ep. 4
59Join the Discord: https://discord.gg/4tHeAkxNg7
In this episode I go over the most common preprocessor directive and some common use cases for each. These are directives that programmers will typically write that the compiler uses during preprocessing. These can include things like conditional compilation (where some Mac code is not compiled on Windows or vice versa), replacing common pieces of code with a function like macro, or creating useful logging macros that display information about where the function was called.
