<p>The Wave preprocessor library supports a couple of specific <tt>#pragma</tt>
directives, which may be used to control some of the library features. All directives
described here are usable as conventional <tt>#pragma</tt> directives and as
<tt>operator&nbsp;_Pragma</tt> (if variadics are enabled). So for instance the
following directives are functionally identical:</p>
<pre> #pragma wave trace(enable) </pre>
<p>and </p>
<pre> _Pragma(&quot;wave trace(enable)&quot;)</pre>
<p>All <tt>Wave</tt> specific pragma's must have the general form <tt>'wave option[(value)]'</tt>,
where <tt>'wave'</tt> is the specific keyword, <tt>'option'</tt> is the concrete
pragma functionality to trigger and <tt>'value'</tt> is an optional value to
be supplied to the <tt>'option'</tt> functionality. The following table lists
all possible pragma functions supported by the <tt>Wave</tt> library. For all recognised pragmas of this general form the interpret_pragma hook function from inside the context_policies are call, so that the user of the library is responsible for </p>

<p>All pragma's not listed here but flagged as <tt>'wave'</tt> are reported as
errors. The handling of all remaining pragma's depends on the compilation constant
<code><tt>WAVE_RETURN_PRAGMA_DIRECTIVES</tt></code>, which allows to specify,
if those pragmas are left unchanged in the output stream or not. Please note,
that the operator _Pragma variant is always subject to full preprocessing, before
the pragma itself is evaluated. The #pragma variant is subject to preprocessing
only, if the <code><tt>WAVE_PREPROCESS_PRAGMA_BODY</tt></code> compilation constant
was specified during compilation. For more information about the possible compilation
constants look <a href="compiletime_config.html">here</a>.</p>
<p>Additionally the Wave preprocessor supports the <tt>#pragma once</tt> directive,
which specifies that the file, in which the pragma resides, will be included
(opened) only once by the compiler in a build. This may be used to optimize
the preprocessing of larger compilation units, which include a lot of files. Note though, that the #pragma once directive is supported only, if the compile time constant <tt>WAVE_SUPPORT_PRAGMA_ONCE</tt> was given during compilation of the library</span>.</p>
<p>It is fairly easy to implement your own <tt>#pragma wave ... </tt> directives. All you have to do is to implement your own <tt>interpret_pragma</tt> function (see <a href="class_reference_ctxpolicy.html#interpret_pragma">here</a>) which should the handle additional directives. For an example of how to do it, you may have a look at the Wave driver application, which implements the <tt>#pragma wave timer()</tt> directive with the help of a supplied <tt>interpret_pragma</tt> function. </p>
