Hi All

Am using ccarm and cxarm compiler to build my project and which is integrated with CMake Tool chain

Currently when i import the project with "Existing Make file as project" option indexing happens for all the files

For Eg. If i put a call hierarchy for a function, all the references will be listed

As per my knowledge, this is since indexer happens generically and indexes all files which is not included in the build also

How to configure the indexing options to index as per the files included in the build or as per build output?

For Indexer options,
see Window --> Preferences --> C/C++ --> Indexer.
https://help.eclipse.org/oxygen/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Freference%2Fcdt_u_indexer_preference.html

EDIT:

Understand that all source files within a project are presumed included in a build unless specifically exempted.

You can exempt both files and directories.
Project view --> right click file/dir --> Resource Configurations -> Exempt from Build ...

Thank you for the response, can it be done dynamically based on the build output

i.e I can generate a file which specifies all files included in the build, using that can Include only those files for indexing ?

Thanks in advance

You can use the GCC Build Output Parser provider in
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ General --> Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc. --> Providers tab
Only works with GCC as far as I know.

Try turning off the Index source files not included in the build option in
Window --> Preferences --> C/C++ --> Indexer or
Project --> Preferences --> C/C ++ --> Indexer

The Output Parser adds directories found on the compile command lines in the build log.
I'm not really sure what not included in the build in the option actually means.
You may still have to manually exclude headers you don't want to see.
I don't know if this can be done on the files found under Includes in the Project View.
