OPTION

DESCRIPTION

Language

The language to use for the IDE.

Show TABs

Select this option to show each window in a TAB. The TAB makes it easy to select a window but occupies screen space. To get more screen space you can turn this option off.

Save project before compile

This option is intended to be used together with the stand alone compiler DLL. It need the file saved to disk.

Quick Edit

This option will disable some advanced features. It will result in quicker editing.

Disable Error check

This option will turn off error checking.

ASM Syntax Check

This option will turn on ASM syntax checking.

Show dead code

This option will show all dead code in grey. Dead code is code that is never executed. For example, a variable that is dimmed but never assigned. Or a function/sub that is created but never called.

Or a variable that is assigned multiple times like :

var = 10

var = 12

Obvious, the variable will be 12 so the first line is considered dead code. With $NOOPT you can turn off dead code checking. With $OPT you can enabled it again.

Some registers need a double write. In such case a dead code elimination can not be used.

Auto Add PDF

When enabled this option will add the processor PDF file to the project tree, when you change the $regfile value

Auto Download PDF

When enabled this option will download a PDF when it is not found in the PDF folder. The download will occur when you change the $regfile value and the PDF is not found. The 'Auto Add PDF' option need to be enabled for this option.

Asociate BPJ

To associate the BPJ extension with the BASCOM-IDE you can click this button. After BPJ is associated, all BPJ (bascom project files) will have the same icon as the BASCOM-IDE. You can also launch bascom from the explorer then by double clicking a BPJ file.
