IDE Options and Pragmas

The build tools determine their settings by IDE settings and directives in source code.

The CodeWarrior compiler follows these steps to determine the settings to apply to each file that the compiler translates under the IDE:

• before translating the source code file, the compiler gets option settings from the IDE's settings panels in the current build target
• the compiler updates the settings for pragmas that correspond to panel settings
• the compiler translates the source code in the Prefix Text field of the build target's C/C++ Preprocessor panel

  The compiler applies pragma directives and updates their settings as pragmas directives are encountered in this source code.

• the compiler translates the source code in the Prefix Text field of the build target's DSC Compiler >> Input panel

  The compiler applies pragma directives and updates their settings as pragmas are encountered.
