Output File Names
PostPosted: Thu Mar 25, 2010 8:09 am     Reply with quote

Sometimes one source can be used for several different mcu.

Is there a way to use a #define statement to output different file names ?

Or is there any way to change the output file names based upon some statement in the source code ?

Thanks

You can use the #export directive to do this. The program shown below
creates the following file:
Quote:

c:\program files\picc\projects\pch_test\myfile.hex

This was tested with vs. 4.106. I don't know if it works in your version.
Code:

#include <18F452.h>
#fuses XT,NOWDT,PUT,BROWNOUT,NOLVP
#use delay(clock=4000000)
#use rs232(baud=9600, xmit=PIN_C6, rcv=PIN_C7, ERRORS)

#export(HEX, FILE=myfile.hex)
//======================================
void main(void)
{

while(1);
}

I have been playing with PCM programmer's excellent suggestion of #export to have a more meaningful name for the hex file.


I have gotten as far as

#export(HEX, FILE= __date__ __FILENAME__ .hex)

which produces the hex file named

30-Mar-10rad_CPU_CAN_HMI_and_GLCD_Test_11.c

I have encountered 2 issue.

1. since the source code is name xxx.c, presumably windoz truncates to the first dot delimiter, and thus drops the ".hex".

2. cant use __TIME__ since windoz wont write a file with : in the name.

any suggestions ?



Mike
