There is a way to set compiler case sensitive?
PostPosted: Fri Aug 24, 2018 12:35 pm     Reply with quote

I make some mistakes in my code and wrote some variables in different case than was declared, so now I want to clean it.

I know the compiler doesn´t complain about but any way I want to clean the code.

So, There is a way to set compiler case sensitive to get a warning and or and error code at compile results?

Download the CCS manual. Search it for: case
Then go to that page.

Thanks.
I did it but now I get a lot of "Undefined identifier false"

Post some of the source lines that are pointed to by the error messages.
Also post the error messages.

I just changed all the true, false to full uppercase(TRUE/FALSE) and work ok.

All that means is the code you are loading/typing has got the case wrong on some if it's identifiers....
Remember if you select #case, you have to get the case right for all the calls to standard functions as well.

It looks as if you have used the word 'False' for logic false, rather than the keyword, which is FALSE.

comment:
I seem to recall that when you enable 'CASE' it ALSO changes the default of variables to become signed integers instead of the CCS normal default of unsigned

This 'fun' feature came to light when I was doing a 'chicken coop sunrise' program.It took a lot of head scratching to understand why some parts of the code that 'used to work fine' didn't.....
As to WHY enabling CASE did it is baffling, I got the program running and went on to the next client's mess....

Nope. That's ANSI.

Yeah, that's the headache......sigh...
All I remember is it was quite aggrevating. As I was never formally taught C, I didn't understand whatr I was doing wrong.
Code worked, didn't work, change this and that, was led down a few deadend roads trying to figure out what I'd done wrong, assuming I had done 'something' wrong. Eventually I recoded all the variables to get rid of the mix of upper and lower case, got rid of ANSI and magically the program worked.
I do recall freeing up a lot of disc space getting rid of the 200+ versions, shaking my head, saying all this time and effort just to please a dozen hens to have fresh eggs....

It was really fun for PCD. Somewhere in the late 4.x era, they changed PCD's default to signed and we didn't know. Recompiled our code with some new features and old untouched stuff stopped working randomly. Found out it was an IF comparing a character to a number (something like if(c == 0xFF) which sign extended the c var and 0 extended the number).

I think that I don't understand what's the difference.

I'm using TRUE & FALSE like this.
Code:

short enabled=FALSE;

if(enabled)
{
    enabled=FALSE;
}
else
{
    enabled=TRUE;
}

Yes, now, but the reason for it failing was that you had it typed in lower case somewhere. The compiler was telling you what was wrong:

You obviously had used 'false' rather than 'FALSE', so when case significance was enabled, it complained...

It was ALL in lowercase, I didn't know that must be typed in uppercase.
I program JAVA code too that uses false & true in lowercase so I guess it must be in lower case.

No such thing as a 'standard' these days.
I still expect to see 25 pin RS-232 connectors on PCs. Very Happy

So many languages, environments, IDES, protocols.....
Everybody tries to create its own standard.
