8165 :: include a file variably

• stbalbach (orginal) [2021-06-27T23:34:12+02:00] view original

  I would like to "include" a source file variably, such as based on an argument to the program via the command-line, or a compile-time switch. Is there a way to do so? I suspect the former is not possible but maybe the second.

  Example main.nim

  if <condition>:

  include myfile.nim

  You can do when defined(useSomeModule): include myFile then when compiling from the command line do -d:useSomeModule. When is explained here.
