Re: [cdt-dev] Programmatically update macros in a header file

[Doug Schaefer <dschaefer@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

One idea is to take a look at the Refactoring code. For example ExtractFunctionRefactoring. I’ve been using that as an example for a new editor I’m building which edits the code based on changes in the Properties View. Essentially you just need to create TextEdits and wrap them up in a Change object and the Refactoring engine takes care of the rest.

 

HTH,

Subject: [cdt-dev] Programmatically update macros in a header file

 

Hi,

 

 

I need to create a view where user can READ and UPDATE the macro values in a header file of a C application.

Is there an efficient way for Eclipse CDT to programmatically READ and MODIFY the macro definitions in a header file of a C application? How? Or do I have to manually read, parse and update the file?

 

So far I am able to read macros in a file via IIndexManager or ITranslationUnit. However, these options do not seem to provide a way to update the macros.

 

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you.

 

 

Regards,

Richmond
