haXe allows you to do conditional compilation. This means that some parts of the code can be compiled and others can be ignored depending on the flags you give to the compiler and depending on the platform you're targeting.
Conditional compilation instructions always begin with the #if
instruction.
You can define a flag on the command line by using the –D
switch. So, to define the myway
flag, you would use the following: -D
myway
.
Then, you use it in the following way:
#if myway //Code here compiled only if myway is defined #else //Code here compiled in the other case #end
There is also a not
operator:
#if !myway //Code here compiled only myway is not defined #end
