enhanced CodeContext.add_package to also call CodeContext.add_define (1.30 KB, patch)

Description Harald Wartig 2010-09-21 10:18:12 UTC 
It would be useful if the compiler would define a PKG_NAME preprocessor symbol for every imported package (--pkg). Then we could check the presence of a specific package using preprocessor directives. With that it would be possible to enable/disable features at compile time without the need for extra preprocessor symbols.

This would be my solution to the problem. Please consider including in the next release.
