Re: Quick question #define - SmiT - 28.11.2011

Perhaps somewhere after your includes?

Re: Quick question #define - Sinc - 28.11.2011

It is a pre-processor directive and may be located below or above header files or included directives.

Re: Quick question #define - Ash. - 28.11.2011

Either under/around your #include lines - or even in an include itself (just to abstract it away).

Re: Quick question #define - steki. - 28.11.2011

Anywhere. You can place it anywhere it fits for you.

Even though, if you want to replace some text globally throughout the Gamemode, I'd suggest you to put on the beginning of the code.

Definition may also be before included directives.

Hence why I said "under/around" - it just makes more logical sense to put them in a specific order. Example:

Includes
Definitions
Global Variable Declarations
Callbacks
Functions
EOF

...though, I guess this is personal preference.

I want to add on a bit further. A define is a preprocessor directive and a such may be placed anywhere you want. I tend to do this:

pawn Код:

public OnPlayerDataSaved(query[], index, extraid, connectionHandle)
{
    #define playerid index
    
    // Lots of code
    printf("[data] Playerid %d disconnected. Data was saved and variables were reset.", playerid);
    
    #undef playerid
    return 1;
}

Vince: Why not replace index by playerid in the function header itself?
