Description Henning Riedel CLA 2004-07-19 08:17:49 EDT 
Since 2.0, the build console is not cleared anymore.

The setting in the Window->Preferences->C/C++->"Build Console" has no effect.

Also, there is no color highlighting of errors and warnings. The options do not
have effects either.

Not clearing between builds bugs me as well. I was going to raise a defect, now 
I'll just track this one.

I'm using the head, and when I have

Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -? "Build Console" -> Always clear before

The console is clear.  Doug && Tanya are you guys using the head ?
Did not try yet in 2.0GA.

I agree the coloring is off ...

I didn't know there was a preference for this. All I saw was the behavior 
change and I didn't like it much. I can't imagine when I wouldn't want the 
build console to be cleared but I guess I can see why people would. Still don't 
like it, though, and would prefer the clearing to be the default behavior.

Well there is a bug in the 2.0GA, I think it was introduce
by Andrew's changes.  I will make a quickly fix it in the branch.

But Dinglis did some very nice work in this area to speed up
the console(this was related also to an old Email from Chris S.)
describing the problems of using Pipe()'s, when his(dave) back from
vacation, I'll sit down with him to evaluate the impact of his
code change on 2.0.1.  My first feeling for this is no, but ...

Fix in the head.

Still not closing/resolving, but rather redirect to Dave
for mor analisys on moving the head changes to the branch
... if possible.
