SOURCE FILES
Source files containing C code should have the extension . The list of source files
relevant to the application is stored in project file with extension .mcpav, along with
other project information. You can compile source files only if they are part of the
project.
Use the preprocessor directive
#include to include header files with the extension
.h. Do not rely on the preprocessor to include source files other than headers — see
Add/Remove Files from Project for more information.
Managing Source Files
Creating new source file
To create a new source file, do the following:
1. Select File › New Unit from the drop-down menu, or press Ctrl+N, or click the
New File Icon from the File Toolbar.
2. A new tab will be opened. This is a new source file. Select File › Save from the
drop-down menu, or press Ctrl+S, or click the Save File Icon from the File
Toolbar and name it as you want.
If you use the New Project Wizard, an empty source file, named after the project with
extension , will be created automatically. The mikroC PRO for AVR does not require you
to have a source file named the same as the project, it’s just a matter of convenience.
Opening an existing file
1. Select File › Open from the drop-down menu, or press Ctrl+O, or click the Open
File Icon from the File Toolbar. In Open Dialog browse to the location of
the file that you want to open, select it and click the Open button.
2. The selected file is displayed in its own tab. If the selected file is already open, its
current Editor tab will become active.
