Edited libraries result at compile time

Simple question, I hope. If you make a setting change in a library file (specifically, the ir_Panasonic.cpp file in the IRremote library, bits and carrier frequency settings), save the file, compile and upload the sketch,
are the settings change incorporated into the code pushed to the hardware (Nano in this case).
Or do you need to reload the library somehow into the IDE?
Thanks for any info anyone can provide.
(I wanted to ask in the software section but not allowed to create a new topic there)

If you edit a library file and save the changes then you do not need to do anything in order to use the revised version immediately in a sketch.

However, make sure that you are actually editing the version used by the sketch by turning on verbose reporting for compiltion in your Preferences

Where exactly were you not allowed to post this question ?

Hello ArtieJ

Use a note generated by the compiler simply.

#pragma message( "Libary modified used" )

Have a nice day and enjoy coding in C++.

I verified that I'm editing the correct library file by adding a character to a function name and see the error in the output, also verifying that the change is immediate.
Also, I guess I was trying to create a new category in the Software section instead of a new thread in an existing topic.

Thank you all for your time.
