3.2 Pragmats

Pragmats (also known as pragmas in other programming languages) are directives and annotations for the compiler, and their usage impacts the compilation process in several ways. A pragmat starts with either pragmat or pr and finished with either pragmat or pr respectively. Pragmats cannot be nested. For example:

pr include "foo.a68" pr

The interpretation of pragmats is compiler-specific. This chapter documents the pragmats supported by GCC.
