A compiler directives give instructions to the compiler to preprocess the information before actual compilation starts. All these directives begin with a $ (dollar sign ) immediately following the opening { (Left curly bracket). The compiler directive is always specified as a comment using curly braces:

• local compiler directives
• global compiler directives
