eliminateSystemDependentCode

The eliminateSystemDependentCode build descriptor option is meaningful only in relation to the sysVar.systemType system variable. For example, the EGL generator does not process the following add statement if you are generating for Windows™:

  if (sysVar.systemType IS AIX)
    add myRecord;
  end

To avoid generating code that will never run in the target system, take either of the following actions:

• Set the eliminateSystemDependentCode build descriptor option to YES. In the current example, the add statement is not generated if you set the eliminateSystemDependentCode build descriptor option to YES and set the system build descriptor option to something other than AIX®. Be aware, however, that the EGL generator can eliminate system-dependent code only if the logical expression (in this case, sysVar.systemType IS AIX) is simple enough to evaluate at generation time.
• Move the statements that you do not want to generate to a second program; then, let the original program call the new program conditionally, as in this example:

    if (sysVar.systemType IS AIX)
      call myAddProgram (myRecord);
    end
