Fake commenting attributes

In some instances PLC program modification with changes in attributes that do not have effect on running PLC program (e.g. AddedProperties or clr attributes) can prevent online change of the running program. Read more about TwinCat 3 online change;

To circumvent this inconvenience compiler comes with use of faked comments. These represent real comments for the PLC, but Inxton compiler will process those statements. Faked comments are single line comments.

To provide faked comment simply prefix the attribute with '//*' as is shown at example below.

//* {attribute addProperty Name "This is the blocks name"}

(*Is the same as*)

{attribute addProperty Name "This is the blocks name"}

//* {attribute clr [RenderIgnore()]}
(*Is the same as*)
{attribute clr [ReadOnly()]}
