Hi,

I want to be able to include a file which will normally have a constant but in some cases it may not have any content, but I still want to be able to restart/reload without problems.

Here is a snippet:
include "/etc/bird.d/anycast_prefixes.conf";

function anycast_advertise()
{
    if defined(ACAST_PS_ADVERTISE) then
        return net ~ ACAST_PS_ADVERTISE;
    else {
        return false;
    }
}

The content of /etc/bird.d/anycast_prefixes.conf is
define ACAST_PS_ADVERTISE =
[
    192.168.200.1/32, # Frontend 1
    192.168.200.2/32   # Frontend 2
];

The defined function complains about missing variables.

Is it possible to express what I want?

Thanks,
Pavlos
