Is the containing project a C or C++ project? What type of file (.h, .C, .cc etc.) contains this declaration? This problem manifested itself on a 'Standard C Make', the source file ended .c and I was using Eclipse 3.0 RC3 with CDT 2.0 M9. The problem no longer manifests itself using the overnight builds (I tested CDT 2.0 I20040628). Note that there were severe problems storing settings for this type of project in M9 (see bug 69147). I think it possible that this bug was, in fact, another manifestation of that problem. Using the 2.0 release, I created a new Standard C make project with a file named t.c, and the given code works fine in the outline view. The problem would be explained by the project telling the parser the wrong language for the file, which now seems to be working. |
The outliner (silently) leaves off certain valid C functions because they contain C++ keywords. I guess they break the outliners parser but its still annoying. Although I observed to problem is a complex program the following, very simple, example demonstrates the problem. The function will not be displayed in the outline view because it uses the C++ reserved word 'this' as the name of its argument. static int breakTheOutliner(int this) { return this + 1; }
