cppdefs.h

Internal header file containing all the C-preprocessing options that defines a particular application. It is included at the top of every ROMS source file. The application CPP option is specified in the makefile definition ROMS_APPLICATION. The application header file is determined during compilation as the lowercase value of ROMS_APPLICATION with the .h extension and loaded into the ROMS_HEADER definition. Then, during C-preprocessing the application header file is included in cppdefs.h using the following directive:


 #if defined ROMS_HEADER
 # include ROMS_HEADER
 #else
   CPPDEFS - Choose an appropriate ROMS application.
 #endif
