Determining LONG compiler

[Charles Linquis]

In the 2.6x versions of the compiler, you set a switch to choose PBP or PBPL.

If there were no LONGS in your pogram, you could still compile with PBPL, and it didn't tell you.

I think I remember someone telling me that I could put an ASM block - something like

ASM

ifdef PBPL_USED
LIST
....
NOLIST
endif

ENDASM

But I can't remember the details. Could someone please refresh my (failing) memory on how to detect if the PBPL compiler has been used, or block it from compiling at all if I try to use PBPL?

[Darrel Taylor]

PBP 2.50/2.60/PBP3


ASM
if ((R1-R0) == 4)
error "Compiled with PBPL"
endif
ENDASM


PBP3 only (faster)


#IF __LONG__ = 1
#ERROR "Compiled with PBPL"
#ENDIF

The second one is faster because PBP picks up the error.
The first one has to go through the assembly process before you get the error.

So my next question is --

Is there some trick that I can use that will automatically invoke PBP if no LONGs are declared, and invoke PBPL if they are?
