Description Enrico Ehrich CLA 2006-06-14 18:34:19 EDT 
The location to define preprocessor symbols is different in the "GCC C Compiler" and "GCC C++ Compiler" tool.
In the C-Compiler tool is an extra option category called "Symbols" but in the C++ Compiler tool the symbols are in the option category "Preprocessor".

Target system is "GNU on Windows", executable or library.
Im using CDT3.1.0_RC3. The same behavior can be reproduced with CDT3.0.2.

This seems like an inconsistency for me.

Leo, was there any special reason for having different preprocessor categories for gcc and g++?
Comment 2 Leo Treggiari CLA 2006-06-15 07:43:13 EDT 
The GNU property categories were designed before I began working on the MBS.  I don't know why they are inconsistent, and I agree that it would be better if they were not.  When the chnage is made, be sure to not change any option IDs or a converter will be required.

You can't have a target milestone set if no one has taken ownership of the bug to commit to the milestone.
