Avoid "Syntaxis error" for Concat ## this ## [message #1069453]

Hi,

Do you know how disable or create an exception to avoid the static code analysis tool embedded in eclipse mark the concatenation at precompilation?

#define mNiceMacro(this, value) {concat##this## = value;}

void UglyFunction_UsingConcat(void)
{
/*code*/
mNiceMacro(5, 7); /*here we get a syntaxis error,but the compilation is
/* done without errors */
/*more code*/
}

Hi Ivan,

if you mean 'Codan' as the 'static code analysis tool', I have switched it completely OFF.

Regards
Dirk

Dirk,

Yes, I use codan as static analysis tool and I turned off. but I still have the false positive "syntaxis error" in fact the icon does not looks like a codan icon, I was thinking the syntaxis error is throw by other plugin.

The error arises not from the code analysis CODAN but from the indexer. You can disable the indexer for this code part by using

#ifndef __CDT_PARSER__
...
#endif

BTW, this code does not compile on my platform (Linux gcc 4.6). This might be the reason the indexer chokes.

Add the _CDT_PARSER_ sentence, but I got the same results.
look like the way that we wrote the macro is trigger the syntaxis error.

Where did you insert _CDT_PARSER_? You should surround the macro definition (and provide an empty definition for the #else clause)

Axel,
I did it, same result.

#ifndef __CDT_PARSER__

#define mNiceMacro(this, value) {concat##this## = value;}

#endif
