RE: [cdt-dev] How can I properly add an IPathEntry to an ICProject?

Hi Devin,

 

The managed build system is not capable of setting the “includePath” MBS option values from the list of the CDT include path entries, but on the contrary MBS automatically add include paths stored in the “includePath” options to the set of project path entries.

If I understood you correctly, what you need to do is to add the Include path value to the “includePath” option of your compiler tool rather than adding the path entry directly. This will make the include paths you specified in the option be added to the tool invocation command while generating the makefile. The values you specified will be automatically translated to the path entries and added to the list of project path entries, so you don’t need to add the path entry to the project directly, because MBS will do it for you.

 

As for the gnu tool-chain, when the include path is added to the list of includes via the Properties->C/C++ Build->Tool Settings->GCC C++ Compiler->Directories page, the list of path entries gets automatically updated.

 

You could use the ManagedBuildManager.setOption(IConfiguration config, IHoldsOptions holder, IOption option, String[] value) to set the list of includes you need programmatically. Otherwise you could set include path option value directly in your tool/tool-chain definition.

Please let me know if you need more info regarding this.

 

Thanks,

Mikhail

Subject: [cdt-dev] How can I properly add an IPathEntry to an ICProject?

 

I am trying to add an IPathEntry to a managed build project.

I used the following code to add the IPathEntry to the ICProject:
cProject.setRawPathEntries(pathEntries, new SubProgressMonitor(monitor, 80));
// where pathEntries is the array of original cProject.getRawPathEntries() plus the new IPathEntry (note that there is a managed container in this array)

This works well and displays the Include in the list of the project's Includes but it doesn't add the path to the managed build properties.  Which seems to be necessary for the project to be compiled properly (without this entry the #include "files" are not found and have red problem markers on them)
i.e. Properties->C/C++ Build->Tool Settings->GCC C++ Compiler->Directories

Vlad mentioned that I need to add the IPathEntry to the managed container noted above although there is no way to do so through the API.  Or should the managed build be responsible for checking all entries instead of just the managed container when the makefile is generated and the properties are displayed in the UI?
