How to support Oracle Pro C/C++ syntax within CDT [message #1747510]

I'm trying to setup a project that uses Pro C/C++ extensively.

That means that nearly all methods are stuffed with lines like these:

EXEC SQL BEGIN DECLARE SECTION ;

EXEC SQL
					 SELECT count(*)
					   INTO :nbProgramme
					   FROM GAdefProg
					  WHERE UPPER(cdProgramme) = UPPER(:ctxVarWeb.ctx_paramC3);

I can add a #ifdef #endif around each of these lines, but my conservative co-workers would like to keep their decades long habits.

Is their any way to tell CDT to ignore some pattern in the sources ?

If there's no way to perform this action, how hard would it be to add the feature in CDT code base for someone that never wrote any plugin for eclipse ?

You could try adding Indexer preprocessor macros (mostly defined as having no value or maybe just ';')
Could be tedious if there are a lot of them
If you're lucky there may be only one or two that need be defined which would effectively surround the rest with #if ... #endif

Three are two ways to enter an Indexer macro:
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ General --> Preprocessor Includes, Macro, etc. as a User Entry
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ General --> Paths and Symbols under the Symbols tab.

The first way provides for using a preprocessor macros file. Never tried it though.
You would also have to do this for each project.

Is it possible to define a macro with a variable part, something like

 EXEC SQL * ;

because there are thousands of call like this to manage, but they are all following this exact same pattern.

Otherwise, is it possible to extend the code analyser to dismiss this kind of statement ?

The macro has to follow the preprocessor syntax.
As for changing codan you could submit a change request.
But it may never happen.
If you really want it done you'll probably have to do it yourself.
