#warning preprocessor
PostPosted: Thu Nov 24, 2011 9:29 pm     Reply with quote

Hi, Why do I get a 'Invalid pre-processor directive' message when I try to compile this?:
Code:

#define BOOT_COMPILE   // comment out for normal compile

#ifdef BOOT_COMPILE
   #warning  COMPILING AS BOOTLOADER
#else
   #include <bootloader.c>
#endif

The #warning text turns blue in MPLAB so I would have thought that means it is recognized? I've tried lots of combinations of case/quotes/brackets etc.

thanks

Are you using the CCS compiler ? If I compile the test program shown
below with vs. 4.127, and I enable warnings in the MPLAB Project / Build
Options, I get this output. It's working:
Quote:

If it doesn't work for you, then post your compiler version and post a
very short test program. ("short" means not much longer than the
following program).
Code:

#include <18F452.h>
#fuses XT, NOWDT, NOPROTECT, BROWNOUT, PUT, NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4M)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

#define BOOT_COMPILE   // comment out for normal compile

#ifdef BOOT_COMPILE
   #warning  COMPILING AS BOOTLOADER
#else
   #include <bootloader.c>
#endif

//====================================
void main()
{

     
while(1);
}

We use an older version 4.032. I tried a new project using the code you posted and I still get the compile error. I also tried loading an example project in the CCS IDE and it doesn't like #warning either.

Starting to sound like a compiler bug to me but I can't see it mentioned in the list of fixes. (maybe they don't go back that far).

If you watched the forum at the time when you got that compiler, you would find it was really 'beta', with people telling you to use 3.249, rather than a V4 compiler. V4 only started to properly work around the late 4.06x version. Before this, very basic code might work, but probably in excess of 30% of things had problems....
I'm afraid 4.032, is likely to give you a lot more problems than this.

Best Wishes

CCS added support for #warning in compiler vs. 4.069. You have
vs. 4.032 so it doesn't support it.

You are probably using the current CCS manual, but it's for a much later
version. Your version (4.032) was released on about April 19, 2007.
Probably you should use the August 2007 manual. It's the last manual
that doesn't have #warning documented in it. The next earlier manual is
dated January 2007:

Here are two places you can still get the August 2007 manual. I found
these with Google:
