Title: Why aren't #define'd constants known to debugger?
Post by: rogeriodec on March 21, 2018, 11:16:30 pm

Every time I try to watch a formula that uses a constant, the debugger shows "Not available in current context".

EX:
#define PI 3.14159265
... and watch "x * 180 / PI"...

How can this be solved?

There is no UI for this and I doubt will provide one...

Use enums or proper constants...
