Description
The $IfOpt compiler directive is a meta-directive - it tests for the + or - state of a single character compiler directive.
For example:
{$IfOpt H+}
ShowMessage('Longstrings are set on');
{$EndIf}
It is useful to report on directive settings at the start of a program, when testing.
Notes
$IfOpt can be used multiple times in your code.
