Configuring editor to recognize non standard C syntax eg '__critical' [message #228963]

Hi,

I'm using Eclipse CDT with SDCC (Small Device C Compiler) which requires
me to pester my code with non standard keywords like __data, __code,
__critical etc. The editor/parser in Eclipse wants to flag these as
errors, which is pretty annoying as for example a function marked as
__critical will show up as fully underlined in Eclipse. Not very useful.
Now I'm confident Eclipse can be configure not to do this, but so far I've
not been able to figure out how to do that.

I think you will need to define them as empty macros within a
conditional compile that is only true when indexer is running.

Something like
#ifdef <indexer_running>
#define __crticial
#endif

I'm not sure what the value of <indexer_running> should be...

In case of an unmanaged makefile project, the simplest solution is to
add empty macros for the problematic keywords on the Paths and Symbols
properties page.

In case of a managed project, create a header file containing something
like:

#ifdef __CDT_PARSER__
#define __data
#define __code
#define __critical
#endif

and make sure this is included before everything else.

A more involved solution would be to create a new language using
extension point org.eclipse.cdt.core.language.

Thanks Anton,

I'm using a unmanaged Makefile and the solution to put those defines in
the Paths and Symbols page worked perfectly.

This is basically what John suggested and I had considered this solution
but did not know about this page nor about __CDT_PARSER__ symbol, and thus
the parser was too clever when I tried to fool it to think that the
symbols were empty whereas in reality / compile time they were defined.
But using __CDT_PARSES__ or putting them on the Paths and Symbols page
solves that.

Thanks.
