µVISION: EDITOR MESSAGE: LINES LONGER THAN 2048 CHARACTERS

Information in this article applies to:

• µVision Version 3

QUESTION

I am using the µVision editor and when I open specific source files I get the message:

The file <filename> contains lines longer than the
2048 character maximum.  The lines will be wrapped.

What is the reason for this message? How can I avoid it?

ANSWER

The µVision editor is able to edit lines with a maximum length of 2048 characters. When you open a file which contains lines beyond this limit, the µVision editor inserts new line sequences into your source file and displays the message above.

In case that you need long logical source lines you may use a backslash (\) character to concatenate two source lines with the C preprocessor.

Example:

  long source line \
