#define statements on variable declarations

Jeremy Brookley

Hello. I am trying to find new and exciting ways to optimize (read: shrink down) my current code and want to include an eeprom autorefresh option to cut down on variables. Basically, when I have the AutoRefreshCompile option set, I want it to create the variable "randomvariable". My code is pretty simple:

#define AutoRefreshCompile 1

        #if(AutoRefreshCompile==1)
        {  // line x
                extern signed short randomvariable;
        }  // line y
        #endif

I am getting errors that read as follows:


VARS.H(x) error C141: syntax error near '{'
VARS.H(y) error C141: syntax error near '}'

I'm guessing it is not possible to do this (if I remember correctly, variables have to be declared at the beginning and can't be in the middle of functions/code segments but maybe it's some really simple fix.

I realize this might not work but I figure it's worth a shot. Any suggestions? Thanks!

    you had to go that extra mile to be an ***

    Agressive ignorance. How charming.
    typical response from someone that expect the replies to be "politically corect"

    I have seen this many times "why did you not answer the way I wanted you to, expletive"

    it is amazing that the more someone expect others to be "politically correct" the more likely it is that the reply to whatever is not seen as "politically correct" will be an expletive
