Specify PIC in code

[mackrackit]

Hi Dave and Normnet

A while ago, I had been looking for such feature ( a post might remain here ...) but Halas ...

the "usual" IDEs ( MCS and MPLAB ) need to define the processor BEFORE executing anything from the source ...

IF it could have been made ... I'm sure it would already exist !!! no ???

But Norm is not making the "usual"
The PIC select drop down in MCS pretty much does the same thing as I described. It passes the parameter at compile time. Norm just needs a way to pass that info into his command line type BAT. Kind of like using note pad.

But no, there is not a way to do it in the normal IDEs.

I had planned for the versions following beta several FineLine "Comment Directives" such as:
'FL PIC18F4520
'FL START OF SUB
'FL END OF SUB
but wasn't sure if a declare existed which would auto select the PICxxx for the IDE drop down menu.

'FL PIC18F452 style Comment Directive will be added for the beta.
