  When using MicroC, reverse engineering does not handle
  complex macro in include statement correctly.
  

Problem conclusion

• The parsing error that caused parsing of the file to stop at
  this line has been fixed. However, there are no plans to
  introduce the ability to handle macros of this sort.
  When not using MicroC, the CodeCentric settings are used
  after reverse engineering, and the problematic include
  statement is retained in the code.
  When using MicroC, there are two possible workarounds:
  - For the very first function in the code, use the include
  statement as the value of the property
  C_CG::Operation::ImplementationProlog. Add a new line at the
  end of the property value, or use the property
  MarkPrologEpilogInAnnotations in order to get the include
  line wrap with the Ignore annotation so that roundtrip does
  not try to handle it.
  - After reverse engineering, add a component file and map to
  it as elements the file and the elements that should appear
  in the code before the include statement. In addition, add a
  text element to the component file and put in it the
  required include wrapped with ignore annotation so that
  roundtrip does not try to handle it later.
