Hi,
My code uses defines like "_WIN32" and "linux". But CDT doesn't seem
to
have any predefined symbols like VC++, code::blocks, and Dev-Cpp. Why
doesn't CDT automatically detect its environment and define symbols? Does
the user have to define everything?
Thanks,
Nathan

Unfortunately, undefined symbols and unconfigured include directories
impacts the indexer and outline view.
This is the major disadvantage of the Eclipse CDT I see right know.
Sometimes, you need just to browse the bunch of code and the indexer is the
all that you need for this purpose. But if you don't have build output, if
this code have a lot of include directories and predefined symbols, you
cannot use CDT effectively.
So, when I create the new standard make project, I would prefer if CDT
indexer assumes each directory where .h files resides as an include
directory and each predefined symbol as already defined.
For example, the code base could have two different definitions of the same
function. Depending on #define statements you could work with one of them.
But I would like to see both of them under outline view.
I don't know, may be all of the above is already scheduled as future
enchancements of CDT?
