The declare construct is used to set execution directives for a block of code. The syntax of declare is similar to the syntax of other flow control constructs:
The directive section allows the behavior of the declare block to be set. Currently only one directive is recognized: the ticks directive. (See below for more information on the ticks directive)
The statement part of the declare block will be executed -- how it is executed and what side effects occur during execution may depend on the directive set in the directive block.
A tick is an event that occurs for every N low-level statements executed by the parser within the declare block. The value for N is specified using ticks=N within the declare blocks's directive section.
The event(s) that occur on each tick are specified using the register_tick_function(). See the example below for more details. Note that more than one event can occur for each tick.
Ticks are well suited for debugging, implementing simple multitasking, backgrounded I/O and many other tasks.
See also register_tick_function() and unregister_tick_function().
