Defines in files included by preprocessor are not honoured [message #481463]

Hi. I have a somewhat important problem.

I have a set of defines that depend of the definition of other defines. The latter can be defined in the project, while the former can only be defined in the files. As they are needed in too many files of the project, I decided to create a file and write them there, and then just include that file for every project file that need those defines,

But the defines that are in the included file are not honoured,

Is this a bug of current MJT preprocessor, or it is designed this way? Can somebody give me a workaround if it is just a bug?

Thank you very much in advance, I really would appreciate a solution, because as the project advances, the need of defines is bigger and I don't want to have to write them all in every file, as it could be really messy.

Thanks again.

David Lucena.

Hello David,

In order to help us to better understand the problem, could you send us
some examples of defines that depends on definition of other defines?

Thanks,

Yes of course:

//#if (USE_IMAGEMANAGER) && ( USE_IMAGEMANAGER == 1 )
//#define DO_USE_IMAGEMANAGER
//#else
//#undefine DO_USE_IMAGEMANAGER
//#endif

//#if (DEBUG_IMAGE_MEMORY) && ( DEBUG_IMAGE_MEMORY == 1 )
//#define DO_DEBUG_IMAGE_MEMORY
//#else
//#undefine DO_DEBUG_IMAGE_MEMORY
//#endif

//#ifdef DO_DEBUG_IMAGE_MEMORY
    //#ifndef DO_USE_IMAGEMANAGER
        //#undefine DO_DEBUG_IMAGE_MEMORY
    //#endif
//#endif

In the code above, USE_IMAGEMANAGER and DEBUG_IMAGE_MEMORY are defined in the project, but not DO_USE_IMAGEMANAGER and DO_DEBUG_IMAGE_MEMORY.

DO_USE_IMAGEMANAGER is defined for a short of /#if (USE_IMAGEMANAGER) && ( USE_IMAGEMANAGER == 1 )

The same with DO_DEBUG_IMAGE_MEMORY, but also depends of DO_USE_IMAGEMANAGER to be defined.

Hello David,

MTJ uses a third party library (antenna) to provide the preprocessing
feature. I've found an opened bug on antenna's bug tracker that seems to
be the root cause of this issue. Please, verify if the same problem is
described here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid =1766666&group_id=67420&atid=517826

Yes, is the same.

This means that until the bug is not resolved in antenna it will not resolved in MTJ?

I really think that is very useful that this bug is solved, or if it is not really a bug, but a design issue, it is changed.

Thanks for the information.

Just a question. Nobody since the ability of using the preprocessor was implemented, has needed this feature?

I think I could not live without... Althout at the moment I think I will have to...

Since we require the antenna preprocessor, the bug you found wont be
resolved until it's fixed on antenna. Someone could send a patch to them
with a fix, but we would need to wait until they release to initiate
eclipse legal process to be able to use it, an then we could release a new
mtj version with this fix.

About that patch. If there were someone that could submit it, there would be the need to download the anntena sources, apply the patch, build the libraries and substitute them in eclipse. Is thas the process?

If so maybe I could try to found if someone did a patch o proposed one...

By the way, has someone tried lately to acces antena repositories?

I have tried to get the sources but the server seems to be down. And the sourceforge page of the project seems not to have much activity. Anyone knows if this project is still alive?

Nops. We would need them to release a new version of antenna preprocessor an then we need to request to Eclipse IP team to use the newer version. If the request is approved, we integrate the library in the antenna.preprocessor.v3 and release it on a nightly build.

Well, the last time i heard from Omry, if I'm not mistaken, he said that he would not continuing maintaining the code.

If someone provide a fix to this issue, we could try to get in touch with Omry and try to request this fix to be integrated in a new version of the preprocessor, but we don't have any guaranties that this would happen.

Well, If you Diego or someone manage to get the code, I would appreciate the new url server or something. I will try to look at the code to see if I could find a way to solve the issue, although with the current project I have at job I am not sure having enough time. But if I can it would help alot.

Well, I used this connection and could checkout the code;
:pserver:anonymous@antenna.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/antenna

from https://sourceforge.net/projects/antenna/develop

Maybe the server was down when you tried.

Yes, that was just the address I followed, but by some reason I cannot connect due to timeout. I've tried again and nothing. Anyway, yesterday I was pointed to download https://sourceforge.net/projects/antenna/files/Preprocessor% 20library/1.2/preprocessor-v3-src-1.2.zip/download by Omry itself, so I'll see if I can do something.

And as I see it uses the Netbeans layout, although I know I can import the xml from eclipse, I'll install netbeans in order to follow the same build system as the original source.

May the force be with me...

Hi Diego, after adding suport for //#preprocess to the antenna preprocessor in order to make MTJ compatible with Blackberry tools, I have also solved the //#include issue, by merging the definitions from the included file into the current definitions.

If you need the code I would be please to zip it and send it to you. I don't know how to extract a patch file, nor I don't know if I have the tools for this, so I think it's better for you to do so.

It would be nice that this feature could be tested and included asap in a MTJ release.

Thank you.

Hi David,

thanks for your effort, but i cant apply your modification into mtj. First you must submit it to antenna team to be integrate. I'd suggest you to send this directly to Omry and he can arrange a new release of the antenna preprocessor.

After he release an public version on the antenna website, I'll open an request to the Eclipse IP team to include this newer version on mtj.

I have submitted some patches to Omry, but as he is not in the project anymore I also have asked him to put me in contact with the current administrator/mantainer/updater so I will not bother him anymore.

I'll tell you more when I know.
