Exclude (duplicate) header from project [message #1790807]

Hi,

I'm facing a problem that i consider as a possible bug.
I'm currently working on an consequent project that i have divided in multiple git repositories.

for each sub-modules, i have a source directory (which i use in my overall project) and others like examples or tests.
When i integrate a sub-module in eclipse, i exclude from build all folders like "examples" "tests" "doc" etc.

I've got a typical file debug.h that is present in all my examples and my overall project.

The problem is when I include "debug.h", eclipse include a debug located in an excluded folder (and not present in my includes parameters) which is the wrong..
if I delete the file the project compile properly!

Here is the files in my project:
index.php/fa/33143/0/

Any idea?
thanks!

What do you mean by "Eclipse includes"?

Eclipse doesn't generally include anything.
It does read files to index them, though.
Is this what you mean?
I expect that wouldn't cause a compile issue.

Do you mean that the file is being included by the compiler during a build?
That would imply that a directory containing the examples is being relayed to the compiler.
Eclipse can only do this when creating a makefile.
And does so usually by using the -I compiler option.
These are set with the Tool Settings dialog
Project --> C/C++ Build --> Settings --> Tool Settings tab
or the dialog at Project --> C/C++ General --> Paths and Symbols --> Includes tab

When you "delete the file", which file is being deleted?

Can you be more specific about what you mean and post evidence of Eclipse doing it?
Say, a build log and whatever makes you think it is happening.

FWIW:
I modified an HelloWorld project with two header files differing only in content with one being hidden.
Then I built the project.
Only the non-hidden one was part of the build.

Damn I've deleted folder to post screenshots here and now i'm not able to reproduce the problem.

So it's solved for now and I'll came back if problem persist!
