uVision2 - Content of C51.ini

Geert Vancompernolle

Hello,

As far as I understand, the content of the file C51.ini is used to determine:

1. the kind of color of the keywords.
Under the section [Colors], depending on the extension of the filename (.h, .c, .cpp, ...), the color is given in (most probably?) the RGB format.

2. the keywords.
Under the section [Keywords], the keywords are given to be taken into account for coloring for a certain file extension

Problems/Questions:

1. When I change the RGB value of whatever file extension given in the [Colors] section, the color in uVision2 does not change when I re-open the application. Should this not affect the color highlighting?

2. Depending on the file extension, the keywords to be colored can be defined. However, when I use for example the word new in a plain .c file, it is colored in blue, despite the fact that the definition in the C51.ini file is new=CPP. Does this mean that the .c file extention is a subset of .cpp wrt keyword coloring?

Rgds,

Geert

    In uVision2, select Options from the View menu. Then, click on colors and fonts to change the colors for syntax highlighting.

    uVision2 works with compilers for the 8051, 251, 166, and ARM7. It supports only the C compiler for the 8051, the C compiler for the 251, and C and C++ compilers for the ARM7. The specified file extension has no meaning for keywords specified for 8051 and 251.

    These INI files are not intended for user-modification and any changes you make will likely be overwritten by updates or ignored entirely in future releases.

    C51.INI has been discussed here before - use the search.

    As I've said before, it'd be really useful if uVision's syntax colouring could distinguish between ANSI-standard keyords, and Keil-specific extensions.

    CodeWright can do this.
