[cdt-core-dev] [conflicting names] problem

Title: [conflicting names] problem

Good morning all,

The error parser seems to flag an error/warning as [conflicting names] if the error occurred in a file name that also exists in another directory. It doesn’t seem to use the path – only the name – in determining if the name is conflicted or not.

This creates problems in the cross-platform programs that I work on where we have both a linux and win32 directory in a standard make project. Each of these directories for example contain a udp.h/upd.cpp set of files and the makefile for each platform decides which directory to use. The error parser won’t display problem markers in these files due to the problem that I described above.

Is this a deliberate decision to only allow one instance of a file name throughout a whole project?

Thank you,

Michael Lamb
