Internaltext

Symbolic Value : Resource Definition
internaltext - Assign an error code number to a text string.
#include <globerr.h>

Symbolic Values :

Description :

Assigns the given error code to the given text string. When language compiling, the macro actually amounts to nothing more than a comment. When resource compiling a module (RC), the macro is used to map error code numbers to a corresponding text string.



    Prior to Release 4.5, an alternative form was defined due to a compiler bug in MPW C. The compiler generated an error when a macro evaluated to nothing and is followed by another #define.


    /* "internaltext" designates STATUS codes used to indicate a condition
    passed between 2 subsystems, but NEVER displayed to a user. The text
    associated with "internaltext" is NOT EVEN STORED in the executables,
    and thus, never translated or shown to a user. */

    #define internaltext(code,text)

Sample Usage : 

#define ERR_QUEUE_NOT_EMPTY PKG_MISC+1
 internaltext(ERR_QUEUE_NOT_EMPTY, "Deleting a non-empty queue")
#define ERR_QUEUE_EMPTY   PKG_MISC+2
 internaltext(ERR_QUEUE_EMPTY,  "No more entries to dequeue")
