5.12.2 Including Other Source Files ¶

To include another source file in an assembler source file, use the ‘include’ directive:

        include file_name

The argument file_name specifies a (quoted) absolute or relative path to an included file. The base directory for the relative path is:

• a directory containing a file with the ‘include’ directive;
• a base directory specified as a preprocessing parameter if the name of a file with the ‘include’ directive is unknown;
• a current working directory if there is no base directory specification using a preprocessing parameter.

The directive must be on a line of its own after at least one whitespace character at a line beginning. The directive must not occur within a macro definition. The maximum nesting level of ‘include’ directives is 100.
