  196. <h3>Maintain include paths</h3>
  197. <p>The <tt>Wave</tt> library maintains two separate
  198. search paths for include files. A search path for user include files
  199. and a search path for system include files. Any directories specified
  200. with the <a href="#add_include_path">add_include_path()</a> function before the function <a href="class_reference_context.html#set_sysinclude_delimiter">set_sysinclude_delimiter()</a> is called are searched only for the case of <tt>#include&nbsp;"..."</tt> directives, they are not searched for <tt>#include&nbsp;&lt;file&gt;</tt> directives. I.e. these directories are added to the user include search
  201. path. </p>
  202. <p>If additional directories are specified with the <a href="#add_include_path">add_include_path()</a> function after a call to the function <a href="class_reference_context.html#set_sysinclude_delimiter">set_sysinclude_delimiter()</a>,
  203. these directories are searched for all <tt>#include</tt> directives. I.e. these directories are added to the system include
  204. search path.</p>
  205. <p>In addition, a call to the function <a href="class_reference_context.html#set_sysinclude_delimiter">set_sysinclude_delimiter()</a> inhibits the use of the current reference directory as the first search
  206. directory for <tt>#include&nbsp;"..."</tt> directives.
  207. Therefore, the current reference directory is searched only, if it is
  208. requested explicitly with a call to the function <a href="#add_include_path">add_include_path(".")</a>. </p>

  436. final <span class="preprocessor">#endif</span> for
  437. the include guard to be recognized.</p>
