Declare Reminders What is this declare for?

[Giuseppe]

Hi everyone I'm using an 18f26k20. using the pluin fuse configurator Mk2 at the beginning of the configuration puts
Declare Reminders Off ultimately puts Declare Reminders On. It never happened to me. What is this declare for?

$if Device = _18f26k20 Then
Declare Reminders Off
@ CONFIG_REQ = 0 ; Override Compiler's configuration settings

The compiler now uses the text "Hints" for the Declare, but "Reminders" is still valid for it. I changed the name because the compiler produces the text "Hint" in its results, so it made more sense to use the same name in the Declare that enables/disables them. Older firmware will still use the text "Reminders", because it is still valid. But should be changed to "Hints", where possible.

See page 415 of the Positron8 compiler's PDF manual, within the "Compiler Directives\Declares" section.
