# 4291 Defined Compiler Symbols Not Being Properly Cleared During Each Compilation Cycle

After compiling and executing (in the IDE) an application with a defined symbol, the symbol remains effective when it's commented out or removed from the code.

With following example:

(1) is logged in the message window as expected. Now delete line (0), recompile and execute. (1) still is logged. The symbol remains effective until the a restart of the IDE.

{$DEFINE DEFINE_SOMETHING} // (0)

procedure foobar;
begin         
 {$IFDEF DEFINE_SOMETHING}
 LogOutput('within the define section...'); // (1)
 {$ENDIF}
end;

initialization  
 foobar;
end.
