Re: [cdt-dev] How do I programmatically change the Eclipse CDT tool settings for a file?

I have been doing that. I set a breakpoint in org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.ManagedBuildManager.setOption(IResourceInfo, IHoldsOptions, IOption, String) and it triggers when I open the Properties dialog for a file, expand "C/C++ Build", select "Settings", and then "Miscellaneous" in the Tool Settings tab. I can see the arguments, and presumably if I can call setOption with the same arguments I'll get the same results in the .cproject file. But I haven't been able to figure out how to do that. Do you have any suggestions for how I figure out where those objects are created so I can set breakpoints there?

I'm sorry to hear that. I guess the engineers who wrote that code no longer work on CDT?

Subject: Re: [cdt-dev] How do I programmatically change the Eclipse CDT tool settings for a file?

I haven't received any answers on this mailing list or to my Stack Overflow question, but I've continued working on it and have made some progress.

To refresh your memory, I want to programmatically (from a plugin) change the "Other flags" field in the Miscellaneous settings in the Tool settings tab for an individual file in a CDT managed build project.

I can cause the settings to appear in the .cproject file, but there are differences between the XML created as a result of my programmatic changes and the XML created when making the changes manually, that I believe is resulting in the programmatic changes not showing up in the "Other flags" field in the file's Properties dialog.

See my updated code and XML in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/20061538/ for details.

I can read the default settings and change them, but it appears I'm only temporarily changing the default settings. I don't see how to change the actual settings, and have them saved.
