<p>Can&#039;t believe we didn&#039;t have this one either</p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Conditional assembly''' (originally in [[assembly language]], later called '''conditional compilation''' in other [[programming language]]s)) is a mechanism used to produce multiple versions of a [[program]]'s [[object code]] from a single set of [[source code]].<br /> <br /> It consists of [[conditional]] [[statement]]s, inserted into the source, which conditionally direct the assembler/[[compiler]] to ignore source until a matching statement further down the source directs it to resume normal processing. The operation/non-operation of the conditional control statements are controlled by [[expression]]s in the statements, using [[variable]]s which are assigned [[value]]s in a number of ways (e.g. in [[source file]]s, on the [[command line]], etc.)<br /> <br /> [[Category: Software Basics]]</div>
