and data references and bind them to locally defined code and data symbols. This
pragma is equivalent to -Bprotected and is global in scope.
This pragma is equivalent to #pragma PROTECTED.
IF_CONVERT Pragma
#pragma IF_CONVERT
This block-scoped pragma instructs the compiler to If-Convert the current scope. There
is no command-line option equivalent.
If-Conversion is a compiler process that eliminates conditional branches by the use of
predicates. The compiler is instructed to If-Convert all non-loop control flow nested
within the current block.
Without this pragma, the compiler would employ its own heuristics to determine
whether to perform If-Conversion. With this pragma, If-Conversion is always performed.
If-Convert can be specified in a loop containing conditional branches other than the
loop-back branch. This makes it more likely the compiler will modulo schedule the
loop, as loops containing conditional branches cannot be modulo scheduled. The pragma
can also be used for non-looping constructs.
POP Pragma
#pragma POP
The last pushed pragma is removed from the pragma stack and state is restored. The
binding state reverts to the binding state prior to the last push. Note that this pragma
can only be used with the blanket binding pragmas.
PROTECTED Pragma
#pragma PROTECTED [symbol {,symbol}]
The specified symbols, or all symbols (if no symbols are specified), are assigned the
PROTECTED export class. That means these symbols will not be preempted by symbols
from other load modules, so the compiler may bypass the linkage table for both code
and data references and bind them to locally defined code and data symbols. This
pragma is equivalent to -Bprotected and is global in scope.
PTRS_STRONGLY_TYPED Pragma
#pragma [NO]PTRS_STRONGLY_TYPED {BEGIN | END}
This pragma turns strong pointer type testing on and off When turned on (BEGIN) if
a pointer typing error is detected, it will generate a warning if the typing error can be
safely ignored. If the typing error cannot be safely ignored, it will generate a warning
and flag the compilation appropriately, or if this is not possible, it will generate an
error. This feature is disabled using the END attribute..
