Codan and translated gcc [message #777001]

Hello,

The warning gcc messages are translated in the gcc french version as "attention" message. Codan sees that messages as errors : the lines are underlined in red, the messages in the concole are on a red background, and Codan sends me the following dialog box when I try to debug :

"Errors exist in the active configuration. Proceed with launch ?"

with a checkbox : "Always launch without asking"

But I do want the dialog box for *real* errors.

I guess the Codan's analyzer is based on the the text attached to errors/warning. Maybe it should be based on the messages number (search for example "warning" in the following page : http://translationproject.org/PO-files/fr/gcc-4.5.1.fr.po)

There is a misunderstanding. CODAN does not scan the compiler warnings/errors. This is done by an error parser that is based on regular expressions. And this error parser expects messages in English. I suggested two possible solutions in this thread http://www.eclipse.org/forums/index.php/mv/msg/242590/730673/

(either change your locale so you have output in English or modify the error parser)

Before you ask
- search this forum
- see the FAQ http://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/FAQ
- google

Thanks. I applied your suggestion :

I recommend adding an environment variable in General->Preferences->C/C++->Build->Environment with the name "LC_ALL" and the value "en_GB.UTF-8"

You might also need to set LANGUAGE=en, that affects some messages from system libraries - which gcc can print in the console - which use GNU gettext externalization.
