[cdt-dev] Extension-less headers versus Binaries

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxx>]

Hey gang,

I'm wondering if anyone has thought or dealt with this. I'm looking at Qt and it has a lot of extension-less headers. Now I could create a contentType extension that lists all of these files as cxxHeaders. However, if the user creates a binary with the same name, the BinaryRunner will skip over them because it thinks it's a header file.

First of all, I find it odd that the BinaryRunner is running over the entire project instead of just looking at the output folders. If the scope was restricted like that then we could try every file (or at least extension-less files) and see if it's a binary.

Any thoughts?
