Preprocessor Properties

The Preprocessors page in your project or file properties enables you to specify one or more additional preprocessors to use with your project or files. It also enables you to specify the order in which the IDE should execute the preprocessors.
Note:
  • The preprocessors are executed consecutively from the top to bottom of the list.
  • If you are specifying properties on file level, not that by default files inherit the properties of the project. Any file-specific properties take precedence over those set for the project. To revert the file-specific properties to the ones set at project level, check Inherit from project on the Preprocessors page in the file properties.
