Im new to uvision and programming and im looking at a project that has some headers as, #include "..\..\..\swim\lpc_types.h". How do i give it the correct path to the file?..how is "..\..\..\" supposed to define a path?, ive only seen headers included like #include lpc_types.h
POSIX is a good example why standards are less relevant than user expectations.
There's no sane fix for this, the error was using \ as a path delimiter. Because it already was established as the escape character in all computing environments.
Most C/C++ developers on Windows/.NET I know, also use / as a path delimiter in their code.
Was it?
I would say \ had a much weaker standing 1983 when MS-DOS 2.0 with directory support was relased than it has now for use as break character.
And / were used in MS-DOS 1.0 to specify a command line parameter.
