Subject: Re : #defines in CW IDE targets
Yes, because they're entirely "manual", so you're sure the IDE won't do
anything behind your back.
The only precaution to take are the following:
- place the .pch files at the top of your project files, so they get
evaluated first. I usually put them in a "Precompile" folder.
- have one separate file for each project/target, generating a different
precompiled header.
I've been using this method for 5 years now with success (I also use CW for
Macintosh development).
