Question

Is there a way to embed a message in code that is displayed during compile-time when that piece of code is being compiled? The messages are diagnostic in nature and should not modify or abort the compile process.

(Disclaimer: I know the answer to this question. I didn’t find it asked on Stack Overflow and I think it would be an useful addition to the knowledge base here.)

Answer 1

This is one way to do it:

#pragma message("Your Message Here")
