Newbie: How enable "realtime compilation" [message #115390] Fri, 13 August 2004 09:17 Go to next message

One of the features I enjoy in eclipse with Java is what I call "realtime
compilation". That is, when I edit a file and type bogus code, eclipse
will quickly alert me with an error icon in the editor. And when I fix
the bug, the error icon goes away. All without saving the file or
building a project.

How do I enable this feature in the CDT?

I am wondering if this is the same as the "background compilation" or
"automatic compilation" features which are mentioned in the FAQ and
bugzilla...

PS: I am running eclipse 3.0.0 200406251208 and CDT 2.0, on Red Hat Linux
9.0
Thanks for any advice.

We have started work in this area for the CDT, but it is still work
in progress and we still do not do quick fixes.
But the first draft of the work can be "turn on":

Windows -> Preference -> C/C++ -> Editor -> Hover -> Problem annotation

I beleive it was "on" by default. You problem did not see, the CEditor
will have "squiggly" red lines on the offending code.
You probably did not see, since we do not do quickfix so there is no
icons on the annotation bar.
The parser is still struggling but getting better, there is a world of
difference in finding valid problems in the Java vs C/C++

Work in progress.

- You can turn on background build for std make project, see the
preference for global settings but I think that is on the head branch
only.
- Another way is to turn on "build on resource change" in the Make
preference
for standard make(it is off by default, even if Eclipse build on resource
is on)

Now for real "automatic compilation" for the managed builder ... work
in progress and probably not before CDT 2.2 and above.

Thanks for the feedbacks.
