Defaults

NESTINC(255)

Parameters

num
You can specify a limit of any integer from 0 to SHRT_MAX, which indicates the maximum limit, as defined in the header file LIMITS.H. To specify the maximum limit, use an asterisk (*). If you specify an invalid value, the compiler issues a warning message, and uses the default limit, which is 255.

Usage

If you use heavily nested include files, your program requires more storage to compile.

Predefined macros

None.
