Hello, Why does uv3 not allow me to add the file "foo.h" to different targets? or maybe I am missing something? I am actually trying to add the same file twice to different targets. the fact that I get an error is highly annoying as I want to place common data of an application and bootloader in a share include file, and use the same project file but with different targets.
"You wouldn't compile that anyway!"
Conventionally, no - but there's nothing in principle to stop you from compiling a file that happens to have ".h" as its extension...
Early Triscend tools produced a header that you had to compile once and also include in your other source files:
When compiled, it created the initialisation code;
When included, it had to be done like this:
#define PROTOTYPE_ONLY #include <triscend.h> #undef PROTOTYPE_ONLY
and, as the name suggests, that would cause it to just create Prototypes for the functions...
Another reason to add a header to a uVision Project is to make it more easily available for reference - you would then mark it as 'Do Not Build' in its options...
