Unresolved Symbols [message #913330]

Hi Community,

I've a lot of trouble with unresolved symbols in Eclipse CDT Indigo. Below an example:

// File01.c

# define name

// File02:Application.h

# ifndef name
# define pete

// File02:Application.c

int main
{
Function(pete); //the symbol pete can not be resolved!
}

Question: Is there a way to resolve the symbol "pete" with the Indexer?

In your example pete isn't defined, so how can the indexer resolve it?
ifndef checks to see that the argument isn't defined. In your example
name is defined so the ifndef name is false and the define pete won't
happen.

Is there a workaround in the CDT settings to resolve the symbol (pete) without changing the source?

Thanks in advance.

deinfe 'name' in your pre-processor settings. Then it will define 'pete'
