CW 10.3 Code analysis with command line defines

[mikestich]

If types/code or whatever are switched in or out via a command line define (-d XXX in the project Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings->Language settitngs->Other flags) the IDE does not seem to recognize that that they are set.  It seems to assume they are not defined.  It works fine if they are set in an include file. Is there any way to get this to work correctly?

But wait!  I went and actually looked in my project and there is a "Symbols" tab under the Paths and Symbols resource.  Moved all my -d defines there and all works great now, complete with appropriate highlighting in the editor.  Thanks much!

You need to define it throught the compiler > Preprocessor settings.

I hope this helps.

Unfortunately I'm using the Freescale Coldfire. I have my defines set up exactly how the link you reference says I should. However, it says that the solution that works in other cases does not exist for that compiler.  Looks like I'm stuck with the Editor not knowing about the defines.  Thanks for the pointer.
