I'm not sure if this would work but I thought I'd bounce this off you guys anyway.
So, I have an if/elseif/else statement and cut out the else part to cut down on code space. I thought about leaving it in and only compiling this section if I set a certain bit using #define statements. For example, my code started off like this:
unsigned char variable; if(variable==1) { //Condition 1 } else if(variable==2) { //Condition 2 } //else //{ // //Condition 3 //}
I wanted to include Condition 3, but only if I set the #define bit so now my code looks like this:
#define definecondition 1 unsigned char variable; if(variable==1) { //Condition 1 } else if(variable==2) { //Condition 2 } #if(definecondition==1) { else { //Condition 3 } } #endif
It turns out the way I am trying to implement this does not compile due to the else statement currently within a separate if statement. Now, I can still do this by using:
#if(definecondition==1) { if((variable!=1)&&(variable!=2)) { //Condition 3 } } #endif
but I was curious if there was a way to use the #define statement to still be able to work with the previous if statement (as demonstrated above). I tried using a #else statement but that didn't work either (it was worth a shot). Any other methods that might work out? I can force it to work using my method but if there's a better way, I'd like to know.
Thanks, guys!
