FAQ 759: Getting Type Postfixes Instead of Type Prefixes

Question

If I use the VariableClass.TypePrefix property to specify an address qualifier for a variable (e.g., __far), the address qualifier is placed *before* the data type. For example:

__far CAL Vca_DV_tp Vca_DV_fast = {
   37 /* 0.145 */ /* P_Ad: LSB: 2^-8 OFF:  0 MIN/MAX:  0 .. 0.99609375 */,
   224 /* 7. */ /* P_Kd: LSB: 2^-5 OFF:  0 MIN/MAX:  0 .. 7.96875 */,
   72 /* 0.07 */ /* P_Ki: LSB: 2^-10 OFF:  0 MIN/MAX:  0 .. 0.2490234375 */,
   192 /* 1.5 */ /* P_Kp: LSB: 2^-7 OFF:  0 MIN/MAX:  0 .. 1.9921875 */
};

However, my compiler does not recognize “__far” at this position as an address qualifier. This is because my compiler expects an address qualifier to be placed *after* the data type, not *before*. For example:

CAL Vca_DV_tp __far Vca_DV_fast = {
   37 /* 0.145 */ /* P_Ad: LSB: 2^-8 OFF:  0 MIN/MAX:  0 .. 0.99609375 */,
   224 /* 7. */ /* P_Kd: LSB: 2^-5 OFF:  0 MIN/MAX:  0 .. 7.96875 */,
   72 /* 0.07 */ /* P_Ki: LSB: 2^-10 OFF:  0 MIN/MAX:  0 .. 0.2490234375 */,
   192 /* 1.5 */ /* P_Kp: LSB: 2^-7 OFF:  0 MIN/MAX:  0 .. 1.9921875 */
};

How can I get a type postfix instead of a type prefix?
