VECTORC PREDEFINED MACROS

VectorC predefines the following macros in all C source files. Some macros are only included for compatibility and map to keywords that are not supported in VectorC. You will receive error messages if you use these macros.

Macro Names	Macro Values	Condition	Comments
`near` `_near`	`__near`	Always	All pointers in VectorC are "near"
`far` `_far`	`__far`	Always	* __far is not supported in VectorC as it should not be used in Win32's flat memory model.
`huge` `_huge`	`__huge`	Always	* __huge is only for 16-bit programs and so is not supported
`_base`	`__based`	Always	* __based pointers are not supported in VectorC
