Enable the compiler to skip subsequent includes of that header file.
#pragma once is accepted for compatibility
with other compilers, and enables you to use other forms of header guard coding. However,
ARM recommends to use #ifndef and #define coding because this is more portable.
Example
The following example shows the placement of a #ifndef guard around the
body of the file, with a #define of the guard variable after the
#ifndef.
#ifndef FILE_H
#define FILE_H
#pragma once // optional
... body of the header file ...
#endif
The #pragma once is marked as optional in this example. This is because
the compiler recognizes the #ifndef header guard coding and skips
subsequent includes even if #pragma once is absent.
