Compilation successful, but errors anyway [message #882463]

Hi,

I recently switched from Eclipse Ganymed and WINARM to Eclipse Idigo
(Build ID 20120216-1857) and Codesourcery Lite 4.6.1.

To start with these new tools I got a working project and it seems to
be compiled correctly. At least the CONSOLE area tells me "Build finished",
there are no errors messages there and I'm getting an .elf file as the
result.

Nevertheless , I'm also getting hundreds of errors in the PROBLEM area.

The errors are mostly like "Type 'DWORD' could not be resolved" . However, DWORD
for example ,is defined in an include file which is available , included
and NOT marked as unresolved.

I have the impression, after starting Eclipse and after an instantly performed
build process, the errors are not visible. After a while however, suddenly
the errors appear. I never noticed this behavior with Ganymede and WINARM.

I assume it's a problem with Eclipse and not with Codesourcery .

Can anybody advice how to fix it, please ?

Thanks

Robert

This are error markers from the Eclipse code analyzer CODAN. It was activated by default in the Indigo release. CODAN depends on a proper index i.e. your project must be set up to have all includes and preprocesser symbols (see Project Properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols).
