Title: Question about ICSettingEntry.INCLUDE_FILE and ICSettingEntry.MACRO_FILE

I can tell you that org.eclipse.cdt.internal.core.parser.scanner2.BaseScanner.extendedScannerInfoSetup(CodeReader, IScannerInfo) gets back the include and macro files correctly and appears to parse them (pushContext is called).  Where do I set a breakpoint so I can actually see the list of macros the parser is using?

 

Also, I thought I'd try to reproduce this with a regular make project but I didn't see any UI to specify an include or macro file.  BTW, what exactly is the difference between the two?  A macro file is a header but is only allowed to include macros or something?

 

Thanks,
Warren

Yes, this should work. The scanner is configured by means of an IScannerInfo object. Please check whether it contains the macro definition or not.

Subject: [cdt-dev] Question about ICSettingEntry.INCLUDE_FILE andICSettingEntry.MACRO_FILE
Importance: Low

I want to define some macros in a file and have the CDT parsers use those macros when parsing source code.  I tried a simple test, returning a new CIncludeFileEntry and CMacroFileEntry from my CLanguageData#getEntries implementation.  I construct those with a full path to a simple header file in my project.  The header just contains:

#define FOO 1

In a source file if have something like:

#ifdef FOO
#include <foo.h>
#endif

But when I open that source file in the editor, the ifdef is grayed out, indicating that FOO is not defined.  I stepped through the code enough to know that my end of the code is working correctly (at least it appears to be).  But the BaseScanner code loses me.  Am I missing something?   Should this work?

Thanks,
Warren
