[cdt-dev] Not seeing ScannerInfoProvider called on 4.0 M6

[Jeff Johnston <jjohnstn@xxxxxxxxxx>]

In porting the Autotools plugin project to work on 4.0 M6, I've run into 
a problem.  I provide a ScannerInfoProvider via the 
org.eclipse.cdt.core.ScannerInfoProvider extension, however, my provider 
never gets called - for example, when I click on stdio.h in the Outline 
view for a simple hello world source file.  It should be enough to just 
use the default include path settings for the gcc compiler in this 
particular case.  FWIW: I am currently using my own toolchain which I 
needed to create to get past the creation Wizard (it didn't like the 
fact that my old buildDefinition configuration didn't have one).  The 
toolchain is essentially a place-holder.

I tried monkeying around with the ScannerDiscoveryProfile setting for 
the project.  I changed it to Configuration-wide and tried setting it to 
the two StdMake profiles.  This seemed appropriate because the Autotools 
plugin actually has a Makefile and the true includePaths and 
definedSymbols need to be extracted from the build.

Can anybody give me a pointer as to what I need to look at?  Is there a 
way I can configure to use the Std Make Discovery?  My code essentially 
performs the same functiona.  It also has logic to chain header files 
together (e.g. clicking a header file inside stdio.h's Outline view uses 
the same include path as was discovered for the original source file 
which led to stdio.h's location).
