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

["Balasubramaniyan" <balask@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

My 2 cents in this regard.
 
I had raised a request to HP aCC team so that they start emitting the
compilation path as full path instead of relative path.
ie.,instead of emitting "../src/path1/file.h", gcc can say
"/home/cdt/something/src/path1/file.h" in its compilation messages.
 
The moment this feature was implemented, then the conflicting names problem
will be automatically resolved. 
This can be an optional feature in gcc by setting some user_defined_options
so that we don't break the existing functionality of the gcc.
 
We can make a similar request to gcc also so that this problem gets resolved
in a cleaner fashion. I had updated the same information in the bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=108489

Michael,
 
the problem is known to us -

So far nobody has volunteered to fix it :-(

Betreff: [cdt-core-dev] [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
