If you're are not locked into MPLAB you might want to take a
look at MikroElektronika's mikroC. With their "Intellisense"
like feature turned on, it will not only tell you it was
expecting a parameter but also say what kind of parameter.
Of course, you can ignore their advice if you really wanted
it that way. I much prefer mikroC over MPLAB, especially
when using the libraries. Their help file is excellent.
