+// This example shows how to use V's compile time defines and values via the -d flag and $d() function.
+//
+// To change the default values below, pass compile flags to v using: `-d ident=<value>`
+// Examples:
+// ´´´
+// v -d header -d pad=10 -d jobs=8 run d_compile_value.v
+// v -d id="Bob" -d pad=2 -d pad_char='$' -d jobs=10 run d_compile_value.v
+// ```

+const footer = '
+Available compile time flags:
+ -d pad=<i64>
+ -d pad_char=<character>
+ -d id="<string>"
+ -d jobs=<i64>
+ -d header=<bool>

+ -d footer=false'

+}
+
+// println_padded prints `str` to stdout with a padding.
+// Padding length and padding character can be adjusted at compile time
+// via `-d pad=1` and `-d pad_char=x`.
