Function: c-backward-conditional

c-backward-conditional is an interactive and byte-compiled function defined in cc-cmds.el.gz.

Signature

(c-backward-conditional COUNT &optional TARGET-DEPTH WITH-ELSE)

Documentation

Move back across a preprocessor conditional, leaving mark behind.

A prefix argument acts as a repeat COUNT. With a negative argument, move forward across a preprocessor conditional.

The optional arguments TARGET-DEPTH and WITH-ELSE are historical, and have the same meanings as in c-scan-conditionals. If you are calling c-forward-conditional from a program, you might want to call c-scan-conditionals directly instead.

Probably introduced at or before Emacs version 19.20.
