Can you please change the wording to:

"If the file to be included doesn't exist, the preprocessor generates an error message".

"Flashes" is ambiguous and could be interpreted that an error message will get flashed into the hardware.

Wouldn't it be the linker that throws an error and not the preprocessor?
