+>The purpose of the <SPAN
+CLASS="PROPERTY"
+>if_define</SPAN
+> property is best explained by an
+example. Suppose you want finer-grained control over assertions, say
+on a per-package or even a per-file basis rather than globally. The
+assertion macros can be defined by an exported header file in an
+infrastructure package, using code like the following:</P
+><TABLE

+><P
+>Assuming this header file is <TT
+CLASS="LITERAL"
+>#include'd</TT
+> directly or
+indirectly by any code which may need to be built with assertions
+enabled, the challenge is now to control whether or not
+<TT
+CLASS="VARNAME"
+>CYGDBG_USE_ASSERTS</TT
+> is defined for any given source
+file. This is the purpose of the <SPAN
+CLASS="PROPERTY"
+>if_define</SPAN
+> property:</P

+>. If the per-package assertion option
+is disabled then <TT
+CLASS="VARNAME"
+>CYGDBG_USE_ASSERTS</TT
+> will not get
+defined. If the option is enabled then
+<TT
+CLASS="VARNAME"
+>CYGDBG_USE_ASSERTS</TT
+> will get defined and assertions
+will be enabled for the kernel sources. It is possible to use the same
+mechanism for other facilities such as tracing, and to apply it at a
+finer grain such as individual source files by having multiple options
+with <SPAN
+CLASS="PROPERTY"
+>if_define</SPAN
+> properties and multiple symbols such as
+<TT

+output. By default the current package's configuration header file
+will be used, but it is possible to specify an alternative destination

+> option. At present the only
+legitimate alternative destination is <TT
