Question about the IDE and include files....

[mcr1981]

Hello.

I must say I'm new to using the IDE from CCS, I almost 99% of the time use MPLAB.

I'm trying to use the option in the IDE that generates include files (structs and variables).

After it generates the include file I saw that for the TxCON registers it generates the same name for different registers.

Use of register names and bits is rarely needed, and generally discouraged. I'd suspect that you have found a fault in the generation, that no one else has found, because they never use it.....

In general, 99% of register/bit accesses, are now never wanted, because the compiler handles the functions for you. This ability was left present for the few 'old/odd' occasions where an antique program wanted these. Most such programs would pre-date the PIC24, and having multiple TCS bits.

Report the duplication to CCS.

If you want for a very few bits to use names, then use the SFR name ability instead (getenv). I'd doubt is 1 in 1000 of the 'old hands' with CCS, ever use the automated register naming now.

Best Wishes

Thanks Mr. Ttlemah for the super-fast response. Will report this to CCS.
