5.7.1.2 Allow-partial-config-words Option

The -mallow-partial-config-words option allows a program to be built with only some of the Configuration Words specified using the config pragma. Using this form of the option with caution, as the combination of configuration bits that have been specified and those left in their default state may render the device inoperable.

The -mno-allow-partial-config-words form of this option will prevent the program from being built if the config pragma has been used to specify only some of the Configuration Words. This is the default action if no option is specified. When using this option, a program can be built with no configuration words specified, but if any words are specified, they must all be specified within a single translation unit.
