L2 Warning...

Am I the only one, or does someone else think it would be handy for the C51 tools to open the source file and locate for where a reference is made to an unresolved external?

I just deleted a routine that I know I don't want, but there was some scattered test code that referenced it. I get a stack of L2 warnings, but when I click on them, the tools doesn't do anything. It would be great if it went to the location of the warning.

  • You're supposed to be able to just click on the error/warning, press F1 and presto! the help for that particular message should appear.
    But mostly, it just brings up the C51 Library reference instead!


    Is that with a single-click or a double-click? I've never had uVision2 fail to bring up the error message.

    If you single-click on the error message, this brings the focus to the output window.

    If you double-click on the error message, this brings focus to the editor window for the source file and line where the error occurred.

    I think there are some double-clicker utilities (or maybe it's a feature of windows) that automatically double-click for you. You'll have to turn this off to get single-click back again.

    Single-click the message, then press F1.

    I've never had it bring up the right help unless I make sure that a non-source editor window has the focus before the click!

    That's with the Eval & dongled versions; on Win98 and NT4.
    I think Win2k is the same, but won't be able to try it til next year now!

    I'm sure I've mentioned it here before, and to support.intl

    The double-click to find the source line works fine, where appropriate.
