Each menu, Compile Current and Compile Top, has the same sub-options but they start their
compilation from different places. Compile Current starts from the active edit tab and
Compile Top starts from the designated Top Object File.
You can tell the Propeller Tool which object to treat as the “designated Top Object File” at
any time. You do this by any one of the following methods:
We used option #1 to select Blinker1 as the Top Object File, in the figure below. Note that
afterwards, the Blinker1 tab’s text is bold; see Figure 3-14b. The file the Propeller Tool
knows as the Top Object File always appears in bold.
Now, if we use one of the Compile Top options, such as Ctrl+F10 or Ctrl+F11, regardless of
which edit tab is active, the Propeller Tool will compile starting from the Top Object File.
For example, in Figure 3-14b the Output object is the active edit tab. If we press Ctrl+F10,
the application will be compiled starting with the Blinker1 object, however. If we had
pressed F10 instead, the Output object would have been compiled.
Each of the shortcut keys for the Compile Current options, F8, F9, F10, etc., has a similar
variation for the Compile Top options, Ctrl+F8, Ctrl+F9, Ctrl+10, etc.
