<p>The ‘<samp>#include</samp>’ directive works by directing the C preprocessor to
|
||
|
|
scan the specified file as input before continuing with the rest of the
|
||
|
|
current file. The output from the preprocessor contains the output
|
||
|
|
already generated, followed by the output resulting from the included
|
||
|
|
file, followed by the output that comes from the text after the
|
||
|
|
‘<samp>#include</samp>’ directive. For example, if you have a header file
|
||
|
|
<samp>header.h</samp> as follows,
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">char *test (void);
|
||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>and a main program called <samp>program.c</samp> that uses the header file,
|
||
|
|
like this,
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">int x;
|
||
|
|
#include "header.h"
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int
|
||
|
|
main (void)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|
|
puts (test ());
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
</pre></div>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>the compiler will see the same token stream as it would if
|
||
|
|
<samp>program.c</samp> read
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
||
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">int x;
|
||
|
|
char *test (void);
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
int
|
||
|
|
main (void)
|
||
|
|
{
|
||
|

<p>Included files are not limited to declarations and macro definitions;
|
||
|
|
those are merely the typical uses. Any fragment of a C program can be
|
||
|
|
included from another file. The include file could even contain the
|
||
|
|
beginning of a statement that is concluded in the containing file, or
|
||
|
|
the end of a statement that was started in the including file. However,
|
||
|
|
an included file must consist of complete tokens. Comments and string
|
||
|
|
literals which have not been closed by the end of an included file are
|
||
|
|
invalid. For error recovery, they are considered to end at the end of
|
||
|
|
the file.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>To avoid confusion, it is best if header files contain only complete
|
||
|
|
syntactic units—function declarations or definitions, type
|
||
|
|
declarations, etc.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The line following the ‘<samp>#include</samp>’ directive is always treated as a
|
||
|
|
separate line by the C preprocessor, even if the included file lacks a
|
||
|
|
final newline.
