Bookmarks
Use bookmarks to easily locate specific lines in a file.
Under the Edit menu, select Bookmarks to manage bookmarks. Toggle (enable /
disable) a bookmark, move to the next or previous bookmark, or clear all bookmarks.
Breakpoint, Hardware
An event whose execution will cause a halt.
Breakpoint, Software
An address where execution of the firmware will halt. Usually achieved by a special
break instruction.
Build
Compile and link all the source files for an application.
C
A general-purpose programming language which features economy of expression,
modern control flow and data structures, and a rich set of operators.
Calibration Memory
A special function register or registers used to hold values for calibration of a PIC
microcontroller on-board RC oscillator or other device peripherals.
Clean
Under the MPLAB IDE Project menu, Clean removes all intermediary project files, such
as object, hex and debug files, for the active project. These files are recreated from
other files when a project is built.
COFF
Common Object File Format. An object file of this format contains machine code,
debugging and other information.
Command Line Interface
A means of communication between a program and its user based solely on textual
input and output.
Compiler
A program that translates a source file written in a high-level language into machine
code.
Configuration Bits
Special-purpose bits programmed to set PIC microcontroller modes of operation. A
Configuration bit may or may not be preprogrammed.
Control Directives
Directives in assembly language code that cause code to be included or omitted based
on the assembly-time value of a specified expression.
Cross Reference File
A file that references a table of symbols and a list of files that references the symbol. If
the symbol is defined, the first file listed is the location of the definition. The remaining
files contain references to the symbol.
Data Directives
Data directives are those that control the assembler's allocation of program or data
memory and provide a way to refer to data items symbolically; that is, by meaningful
names.
