Code folding

3446793

Hello,

Is there a way in Code Composer Studio 5.1.1 to collapse a section of the code that one highlights?

Suppose at the beginning of the main routine there are some variable declarations and the code looks like (simple example)

// variable declarations
int a;
float b;
unsigned int c;
long d;
...
unsigned long q;

and I want to fold all the declarations such that only the preceding comment shows (and takes space in the editor window).

Making a separate function out of the variable declarations and collapsing it would go in this direction, but I like to avoid creating an extra function for each code section. Is there a functionality to do this, or a trick?

Regards,

Adrian

Hi Adrian,

You can try the pre-processor trick. Goto into Windows | Preferences, and select C/C++ -> Editor -> Folding, enable folding of preprocess branches. Make sure enable folding is enabled for open new editor (top checkbox). You need to reopen the editor to see the changes after you enabled the folding options.

#if (1) //Region Begin
// <Code goes here>
#endif //Region End

Regards,
Patrick

Hi Patrick,

This works beautifully, thanks!

But apparently there is not the option of having preprocessor branches folded by default when opening a file, is there, like it is possible for example with functions?
