$PROCESSOR - Define processor

processor-directive = $PROCESSOR processor-pn .

Defines the processor Part Number.

<processor-pn>:

An identifier which must match the Microchip official part name and must be in the list of PMP's supported parts.

This directive overrides the default processor part number defined in the Project's Options.

This directive is not allowed in units since they use the main program declaration.

In main program this directive should be the first to be declared.

• The currently selected / defined processor is automatically defined as a conditional compilation symbol so that it may be tested in conditional compilation constructs.
• According to the device class, one additional conditional symbol is automatically set: BASELINE, MIDRANGE, HIGHPERF or ENHANCED, which may be used to generate code depending on the code class of the device.

{$PROCESSOR PIC16F690}

{$IF DEFINED(BASELINE) or DEFINED(MIDRANGE)}
 {$DEFINE USE_SMALL_BUFFERS}
{$ENDIF}
{$IF DEFINED('PIC16*690')}
 …
{$ENDIF}
