directive

.. index:: pair: else/0; Directive .. _directives_else_0:

else/0

Description

::

else

Starts an else branch when performing conditional compilation. The code following this directive is compiled iff the goal in the matching :ref:directives_if_1 or :ref:directives_elif_1 directive is false.

Template and modes

::

else

Examples

An example where a hypothetical application would have some limitations that the user should be made aware of when running on a backend Prolog compiler with bounded arithmetic:

::

:- if(current_prolog_flag(bounded, true)).

:- initialization(
    logtalk::print_message(warning,app,bounded_arithmetic)
).

:- else.

:- initialization(
    logtalk::print_message(comment,app,unbounded_arithmetic)
).

:- endif.
