pragma是什么意思？（词源强迫症患者的无聊问题

------此处的pragma仅指各类编程语言中的预处理指令#pragma------

作为一位词源强迫症患者，为了我自己（以免遗忘）和广大病友们，我将找到的一些信息源在此记录如下：

---中文信息

 

“#Pragma是预处理指令它的作用是设定编译器的状态或者是指示编译器完成一些特定的动作。”

---英语信息

# According to a US Government-owned(!) document describing the design of Ada: Rationale for the Design of the Ada® Programming Language :

A pragma (from the Greek word meaning action) is used to direct the actions of the compiler in particular ways, but has no effect on the semantics of a program (in general).

...

Seems the key to understanding is the word action rather than information. 

 

# 关于pragma在引入编程语言时的最初意义的评论：

"As with all things geeky, somebody was trying to be way too clever for their own good. Unfortunately its original meaning becomes lost to the rest of us."
