preprocessor output

Post by mcsummation »

Is it possible to get the preprocessor's output dumped to a file? (Especially when it gets an error.) I'm having troubles getting a macro to compile properly and I can't determine what the problem is. I know it's probably something simple, but with the stuff going on with token substitution, etc., it's hard to tell what the preprocessor is spitting out.

Sometimes it is faster to just post your code. If you get a preprocessor error I don't you can get any kind of intermediate output. You can try -nbc=<filename> in the switches to see what it outputs.

If you are using BCC, try pressing F12 after compiling the program.

F12 gives the output of the NXC compiler that is the input to the NBC assembler.
