Libray File in CCS?

[robban]

Hi!
I'd like to hide a code snippet in a large program I'm supplying to a customer. Normally, I compile the code snippet to a library file and invoke it from the main file, but how can I hide the snippet in the CCS compiler? I don't want to change compiler at this late stage. Any suggestions or workarounds?

Thanx in advance...

Thanx for the tip, but after a little consideration, I think I will create a header of my own, apart from those already needed for the project.

All the best...

You can encrypt the library, and send to your customer.
#include <myLib.c.encrypted>
CCS C will know how to decrypted during compile.

Dear Robban
Why you give source code files to customer? In my opinion you should give only hex file. (I say this from my experience after learning the things from market)That is the only most discreet method to hide your coding technique from purchaser.

In this case the entire code is already known and public, it's only a few lines that are my own invention, and those lines make all the difference...

Far from your question, it depends on the contract between you and that customer Robban. If you agreed to open the code, then all snippets belong to him, so hiding snippets means cheating, unless you have already specified that it is up to you on what to show and hide.

I remember when I used CCS years ago, it creates a library, may be as you said, create a sperate header file and let it be compiled alone to a library and invoke it.

Good luck
