Interesting trick posted by Lars Fosdal on keeping IDE user specific defines
Posted by jpluimers on 2016/07/13
Via Lars Fosdal:
In Tools|Options, Environment Options, Environment Variables – under User Overrides, add a new override
Variable name: DCC_Define
Variable value: billmeyer
This causes a define for billmeyer to exist for anything that you compile in your IDE, across all units, all projects.
Which means you can sprinkle your code with
{$ifdef billmeyer}{$hints on}{$endif}
or
{$ifndef billmeyer}{$hints off}{$endif}
or even isolate out the parts of the code that currently is in development so that it doesn’t get built in the build system.
I believe it was +Uwe Raabe who revealed this gem to me.
