{$IFDEF MACRO_DIFF_HINT}

{
  Define MACRO_DIFF_HINT for the whole compiler (and ppudump)
  to turn this facility on. Also the hint messages defined
  below must be commented in in the msg/errore.msg file.

  There is some problems with this, thats why it is shut off:

  At the first compilation, consider a macro which is not initially
  defined, but it is used (e g the check that it is undefined is true).
  Since it do not exist, there is no macro object where the is_used
  flag can be set. Later on when the macro is defined, and the ppu
  is opened, the check cannot detect this.

  Also, in which macro object should this flag be set ? It cant be set
  for macros in the initialmacrosymboltable since this table is shared
  between different files.
