CCS 6.0.1 "Highlight Inactive Code" not working with GNU v4.9.1

Charles Savoie

The "Highlight Inactive Code" feature does not recognize predefined symbols when using the GNU v4.91 compiler. The compiler itself does recognize it's predefined symbols. When using the TI compiler, CSS "Highlight Inactive Code" works fine.

For example: A predefined GNU compiler symbol is "__GNUC__"

When I use

#ifdef __GNUC__

//do stuff

#endif

The CCS editor highlights the above code, showing it as inactive, which is not true.

Anyone else having this problem?

Thanks

If CCS is manually forced to detect the GCC predefined macros, as suggested in CCS not recognizing GCC predefined macros, then CCS "Highlight Inactive Code" feature does recognize the GNU predefined symbols (tested on #ifdef __GNUC__)

Chester,

Thank you for your reply.

You wrote "If CCS is manually forced to detect the GCC predefined macros".

How would I go about having CSS automatically detect GCC predefined macros?

Thank you

Sorry, I see that you answered my question in another post.
