This report has different sections presenting information about conditional symbols.

Conditional symbols that were defined ($DEFINE) in code

This is a list of all conditional symbols that were defined in the parsed code. Use this list for a sanity-check that your code defines the correct symbols. This section also reports symbols that are defined in code that is excluded for reporting.

Conditional symbols that were undefined ($UNDEF) in code

This is a list of all conditional symbols that were undefined in the parsed code. Use this list for a sanity-check that your code defines the correct symbols. This section also reports symbols that are defined in code that is excluded for reporting.

Conditional symbols/expressions that were evaluated as true ($IF/$IFDEF/$ELSEIF)

This is a list of all conditional symbols or expressions that at some point in the code were evaluated as true.

Conditional symbols/expressions that were evaluated as false ($IF/$IFDEF/$ELSEIF)

This is a list of all conditional symbols or expressions that at some point in the code were evaluated as false.

Unnecessary $DEFINE/$UNDEF

This section lists locations in the source code where a $DEFINE or $UNDEF directive is repeated unnecessarily. The directive can normally be removed from the location where it is repeated, giving code that is easier to comprehend and maintain.

Example

(*$DEFINE Final*)

var

X : integer;

Y : integer;

(*$DEFINE Final*) <-- unnecessary, Final is already defined

const

sAppName = 'AppName';

(*$ENDIF*)

Unnecessary $IFDEF/$IFNDEF

This section lists locations in the source code where a $IFDEF or $IFNDEF directive is repeated unnecessarily. The directive can normally be removed from the location where it is repeated, giving code that is easier to comprehend and maintain.

Example

(*$IFDEF Special*)

var

X : integer;

Y : integer;

(*$IFDEF Special*) // <-- this directive is unnecessary

S : string;

(*$ENDIF*)

$DEFINE/IFDEF used but no matching $IFDEF/$IFNDEF in code

This section lists conditional symbols that were defined ($DEFINE/IFDEF) either in code, or by options, but are not referenced ($IFDEF/$IFNDEF) in the code. Those conditional symbols are probably unnecessary and can be removed.
