 ### About profile files
 
 Specify compile definitions in profile files to use when compiling the `jerry-core` target.

 #### Restrictions
 Only single line options are allowed in the profile file. Any line starting with hash-mark is ignored. Semicolon character is not allowed.

 * name of the profile (which needs to exist in the `profiles` folder)
