QCW9109001: Help on QC/Win Preprocessor Directives Not Found

Summary:

PROBLEM ID: QCW9109001

SYMPTOMS

Help for preprocessor directives will not be found when searching

from a source or error window in Microsoft QuickC for Windows

(QC/Win) version 1.0. Pressing the F1 (help) key will result in

help for a topic without the pound sign (#).

CAUSE

Because the pound sign can be separated from a directive by

multiple spaces, QC/Win ignores the pound sign when searching for

help topics. Since, without the pound sign, most of the

preprocessor directives have other meanings, they are listed in the

help with pound signs. This disparity keeps QC/Win from finding

help on preprocessor directives from the source and error windows.

RESOLUTION/STATUS

The easiest way to find help on preprocessor directives is to go to

the help menu and search on the topic with the "#" included.

Microsoft has confirmed this to be a problem in QC/Win version 1.0.

We are researching this problem and will post new information here

as it becomes available.
