| May 23, 2017 at 10:46 | comment | added | gilhad | Yes, I think, that if I cannot see all relevant code on one (max two) screens, then something is probably wrong. The question is, what is wrong - and so the answers differs. If there are repeated parts, the answer is probably function. If there are lot of functions for one periferial/protocol, the answer is library for this. If the problem is just complicated, so if have a lot of code and functions, there is folding each function and then folding each group of folded functions. So my usual program includes lot of libraries and all functions are folded and main loop/ifs too. | |

| May 23, 2017 at 10:15 | comment | added | gilhad | Ok, this shifted it somewhere else, but still I think it may be relevant to his intent - why he wants to separate the two files - using secondary files to be merged together by some IDE hack while he wants emulate how library do function is not the best approach, if he can use libraries as well | |
| May 23, 2017 at 10:07 | comment | added | frarugi87 | Now that the OP clarified the question, this is not the correct answer. He has two "tabs" open, meaning he has two source files for the same program | |
