Author Topic: reverse code with far keyword (Read 5143 times)

Hi,
I have to reverse engineer c-code, which uses some none-ANSI keywords like "far". When opening it with the internal editor, a "Parse Error on line xxx" is shown and it seems that not all of the code is interpreted correctly. How can I add these keywords to the affected project to have the code being parsed error-free?

you can't.

Hallo Geert,

when using other tools like spell checkers it helped to use something like "define far" in their configuration files to replace the far-keyword by nothing ("").
Is there such a possibility in EA - e. g. define a type that replaces far with blanks so the parser is satisfied?

I'm afraid there's no way at all to interfere in the inner workings of the reverse engineering process.

o.k. - then let's try it the other way round. Is there a language macro like __EA__ that I could use for a constuct like

#ifdef __EA__
#define far
#endif

in my code, which again the parser recognizes?

Geert, this is a common problem and EA has had handling for it since before version 4.

os14, Look at Settings | Preprocessor macros.

Just add "far" into that list.

That did it - how simple life can be ...

Thanks for you efforts

Oops I didn't know about that, sorry for the misleading answers
