I have a C project and no matter how much I google and go through different menus I cannot find where I can set indexer to use C99 (I get a report for bool not recognised in the editor though I include stdbool.h).

The code compiles just fine, but to I do compile in Eclipse using GNU Make 3.18 on macOS 0.13.6.

Can't find any other build settings for that matter but this is no big deal as I build from command line anyway.

The command for the Indexer to get the compiler builtins is in:
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ General --> Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc. --> Providers tab --> CDT GCC Builtin Compiler Settings

It defaults to
${COMMAND} ${FLAGS} -E -P -v -dD "${INPUTS}"

Where ${COMMAND} is from the declared tool chain.

You could set the compiler language flag there.
Usually, its value is gcc

Or, since the flag just causes a macro setting, you could add the macro as a User Entry in
Project --> Properties --> C/C++ General --> Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc. --> Entries tab --> CDT User Setting Entries

Looks like you are using a plugin that's a modified CDT.
This is what the standard CDT looks like:
index.php/fa/37599/0/

Maybe you can set the language macro with C/C++ Include Paths and Symbols
but I can't be sure since I don't have the plugin.

I can't edit the image because the horizontal scroll is missing

This is from the help files:

Hmmm, that one was for the photon version.
Here's the one from 2019-12

Thanks, the pic does not show but I don't think that matters.

The interesting thing is that I today loaded the plugin so I would have expected it to be standard and up to date.

I will investigate my plugins situation.

Thanks once more.
