[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] Is it possible to setup indexer thru Command Line?

alexandre.bodi@xxxxxxx (Alexandre Bodi) — Sat, 04 Jul 2009 23:03:20 GMT

Hi there,

I like to use CTags indexer for my CDT projects. However, I've seen that this particular indexer has been discontinued since 3.1 Eclipse version, so that's the version I've been using, even after newer ones being released.

Anyway, I have to update my project's source files very often. And everytime I need to re-select CTags as each project's indexer (since it is defaulted to Full Indexer, after sources are updated).

I wonder if there is any way to select a project's indexer by using command line (instead of having to manually set it thru project's properties window).

Thanks in advance. All the best,
Alexandre Bodi.

I wrought a basic program that scans of 3 integers and prints the average put then i tried to run the program from the IDE the console didn't work as i expected it to.

It was spouse to prinf a msg "enter 3 integer numbers and then to scan for them but instead is scans first, I've been working on it all day and thought that maybe some one has an idea way it doesn't work.
(On a side note if you run the program in the run/cmd window it does work)
Here's thew code.
Hope that someone can help me with it.
/* file: average.c */
#include

   int num1, num2, num3;

   }

Stdout is buffered when running from within Eclipse. You need to flush stdout in order to get the prompt displayed on the console.

[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] undefined references?

zyndor@xxxxxxx (Gyorgy Straub) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 12:14:32 GMT

Hi,

I'm new to Eclipse and the Workspace paradigm -- I've wondered how much has it got to do with the problem I'm experiencing.

I've got two projects, one is a static library (referencing the OpenGL and SDL libraries), the other one is an executable project, that's linking against the following libraries, in the following order:

mingw32
SDLmain
SDL
SDL_Image
SDL_Mixer
opengl32
myStaticLibrary

Up to this point, everything is much like in the IDE I've been using originally, xcode. Both projects compile fine. The executable project, however, fails to link, dropping undefined reference errors for every call to OpenGL or SDL functions - and these errors are coming from the source of the static library. (As it was made clear to me in another thread (http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.cdt/msg18653.html), the static library has no linkage; when the executable project that's built on top of it is closed, the static library will build with no errors - if that's the issue, where do I resolve these references?)

MinGW and MSys are installed, and I've also tried to show the linker (executable project / Properties / C/C++ Build / Settings / Tool Settings / MinGW C++ Linker / Libraries / Library search path) to where OpenGL and SDL libraries are located (they are in C:/MinGW/lib), to no avail. myStaticLibrary's location is also included in the library search path (then again, there were no errors related to that).

This is very frustrating; any help would be greatly appreciated.

[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] Extend CDT editor capabilities

Hi We have designed an annotation (into comments) language for C program and we want to have content assist into CDT C editor. Is it possible to extend the behavior of cdt to add personal content assist on particular code section ?

[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] Debugger found the wrong source file - how to fix?

toralf.lund@xxxxxxx (Toralf Lund) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 08:02:55 GMT

I've been clever enough to use the same (base) file name for two different source code files on two different sub directories under my project.

When I started a debug session just now in order to analyse a core file, the debugger picked up the wrong one. Is there any way to tell it to use the other (correct) one instead? Also, this seems to indicate that the debug setup searches for files on basename. Shouldn't it try the absolute path given in the debug tables first?

Note that gdb from the command line did not have this problem for the same executable and core file.

[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] File types (assembly Source file)

brian.mouri@xxxxxxx (mouri ) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:44:03 GMT

My problem is that the assembler file must be named .S and no .s .

in the documentation of the assembler should be marked

file.s Assembler code.

file.S
Assembler code which must be preprocessed.

in the older version there was no such problem how can I solve my problem???

[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] Re: Controlling what /how to build before launch?

When the "Build (if required) before launching" option is enabled, is there any way I can control how exactly the build is executed for a certain program? I mean, if a project has several programs/launch configurations and also several build configurations, can I somehow relate them to each other?

After upgrading to CDT 6, I see a "Build Configuration" option menu under Main in the launch configurations dialogue. I don't think it was there in the past. So, I suppose this was a missing feature that has now been added ;-)

Or alternatively, can I specify special options or variables that are sent to the build based on which program or launch configuration is activated?

[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] How to start DSF debugger?

toralf.lund@xxxxxxx (Toralf Lund) — Fri, 03 Jul 2009 07:20:35 GMT

I've just upgraded to CDT 6 and would like to test the "DSF" debugging setup, but can't figure out how to activate it. In particular, I do not see the "extra" debug types under Debug Configurations that are mentioned in the release notes, and the ones I have appear to give me the "traditional" setup.

So, is there something wrong with my installation? Or is there something else I have to do in order to enable DSF.

Note that Eclipse C/C++ DSF gdb Debugger Integration 2.0.0.200906161748 org.eclipse.cdt.gnu.dsf.feature.group

is mentioned among the installed software, and I also have a DSF entry under Run/Debug preferences. I'm using Eclipse under Linux.

Help, anyone?

[news.eclipse.tools.cdt] Contributions to CDT problems view menu

amitm@xxxxxxx (Amit Mookerjee) — Thu, 02 Jul 2009 23:27:24 GMT

Hello, I would like to add context specific contributions to the CDT problems view menu. Essentially right clicking on a particular problem in the view pops up a menu. We would like to add our own contributions to this menu and hook in actions.

Are there any examples or code from which I can get started?

Thanks
Amit
