FIX: PWB 1.0 "Set Dependencies" Fails with Spaces in #include (62578)

MORE INFORMATION

Although embedded spaces are legal in C programming syntax, the Programmer's WorkBench fails to parse the include line correctly if spaces exist before the filename. The following line of code shows the situation where the "Set Dependencies" error will occur:

   #include < stdio.h >
				

The space before the "s" in stdio.h prevents PWB from finding the STDIO.H include file. (The trailing space after stdio.h does not affect the behavior of "Set Dependencies".)

The full text of the error message window for the line above is as follows: Selecting <Help> displays a help screen that describes the problem as being either a mistyped filename or a nonexistent file, but the actual file DOES exist. Removing the embedded space will correct the problem.

You can also add two new "build" lines to the TOOLS.INI file to make the PWB recognize include directives that contain spaces. These lines should be included under the section with the [PWB] tag, and should have the following syntax: (Note: These build switch statements are broken down into multiple lines with the line continuation character (\) because of space limitations; you may enter each of them into the TOOLS.INI file on a single line, rather than multiple lines.)

There is one drawback to this workaround; you will still get the error message shown above because the "old" build switch is applied before the new one. To have the new build switch take effect, you need to select "No" when prompted to abort the dependency list generation. Once you have selected "No" for each file with spaces in the include directive, the dependencies will then be generated correctly.
