GCC Compile Time Comments

The Watcom compiler supported compile time comments, though I don’t
remember how to do it.

Can I achieve the same effect with the GCC compiler?

I.E.

#ifdef Some_Special_Option
#pragma comment “Source being compiled with Some_Special_Option”
#endif

IIRC there’s also #error, which will print its message and then stop the
build, like a compile-time ASSERT().
