@directive - Directives

Purpose

Directives affect the contents of a source file when it is processed. Sections of ABEL-HDL source code can be included conditionally, code can be brought into a source file from another file, and messages can be printed during the processing of a source file. The available directives are given on the following pages.

Use

Directives allow you to use more complex structures.

Some of the directives use arguments to determine conditions. The arguments can be actual arguments, or dummy arguments preceded by question marks (?).
