Addrqual Option

The-maddrqual=action option indicates the compiler’s response to non-standard memory qualifiers in C source code, as shown in the table below.

Table 1. Compiler Response To Memory Qualifiers
Action	Response
`require`	The qualifiers will be honored. If they cannot be met, an error will be issued.
`request`	The qualifiers will be honored, if possible. No error will be generated if they cannot be followed.
`ignore`	The qualifiers will be ignored and code compiled as if they were not used.
`reject`	If the qualifiers are encountered, an error will be immediately generated.

The __near qualifier is affected by this option. On PIC18 devices, this option affects the __far qualifier; and for other 8-bit devices, the __bank(x) qualifier. By default, these qualifiers are ignored; i.e., they are accepted without error, but have no effect. Using this option allows these qualifiers to be interpreted differently by the compiler.

For example, when using the option -maddrqual=request, the compiler will try to honor any non-standard qualifiers, but silently ignore them if they cannot be met.
