1.3.4 What not to do with the preprocessor

It is even possible to include c-files, i.e. to include entire files full of code. However, doing that is very bad form. Do not do that EVER! Why? Well, since you include the uncompiled code into several different objects, you will waste memory and CPU since these identical included parts has to be compiled and stored separately for each object that uses them. Apart from all this just reading the code will be a chore better not even contemplated.
