Hello,

is there way to share constants between FPC and ANSI C?

I writing firmware for device (with Atmel 8bit) using ANSI C, also I writing software for PC (to communicate with that device) using Free Pascal. Both firmware and software using some same numeric constants (used in communication protocol), for example in firmware: #define SEND_DATA 1
in software:

    const SEND_DATA = 1;
  My problem is that I always must synchronise values in both sources.
  So, I want that C compiler will read constants from FPC source, or FPC

compiler read from C source, or both compilers reads from some custom file. Is this possible? How implement this?

Thanks for suggestions.

The easiest way is probably to create a C include file that contains all constants as defines, and then automatically generating the Pascal version of the include with "h2pas -i cinclude.h -o pinclude.inc".
