Use of #pragma in C

Question

What are some uses of #pragma in C, with examples?

Answer 1

My best advice is to look at your compiler's documentation, because pragmas are by definition implementation-specific. For instance, in embedded projects I've used them to locate code and data in different sections, or declare interrupt handlers. i.e.:

#pragma code BANK1
#pragma data BANK2

#pragma INT3 TimerHandler
