| Are Make Targets treated as incremental or full build? [message #229650] |

Hi,
I hope this is a sensible question!
When a build is launched through a Make Target does CDT treat this as a
full or incremental build?
Is there a way to configure this? Or could someone point me at the
relevant plug-in code?
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Andrew,
Thanks for your quick reply.

Yes.
It is launched as full

Yes, that's true. The problem I'm dealing with is related to using the
Coverity Prevent plug-in. If I've understood it correctly, when we
launch a build through Make Target view Eclipse marks the project as
having performed a full build. This is fair enough as how could it know
what the Make Target will do? But, the problem is that when the project
is marked as having had a full build, the Coverity plug-in won't allow a
"Partial Analysis" even though most of the time we have genuinely only
performed an incremental build.
Perhaps there is a whole other solution to this? I can see the problems
of using Make Targets can not easily or elegantly be worked around.

Thanks!
