Hello,
I am trying to use the externalSettingsProvider extension point to add
include/library paths and predefined symbols programmatically to my
custom project type.
Following the instructions at
http://dev.eclipse.org/mhonarc/lists/cdt-dev/msg15279.html
and
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.cdt/msg17432.html
I managed to successfully add an external settings provider which is
added to my projects via an ICProjectListener class.
However, flags in the ICSettingEntry instances contributed by the
external settings provider seem to be ignored.
For instance, I am doing the following
public CExternalSetting[] getSettings(IProject project,
ICConfigurationDescription cfg) {
// We provide the same settings for all
configurations
// Create include path entries for all the
contributed paths
List<ICSettingEntry> includeSettings = new
ArrayList<ICSettingEntry>();
List<String> includePaths =
convertToForwardSlashes(getIncludePaths());
for (String path : includePaths)
includeSettings.add(new
CIncludePathEntry(path,
ICSettingEntry.BUILTIN));
.
.
.
where the getIncludePaths() will return my custom includes. I also
create CLibraryPathEntry and CMacroEntry objects in a very similar way.
I then create the CExternalSetting containers and send them out to CDT.
.
.
.
return new CExternalSetting[] {
// Include paths, for
C/C++/ASM
new CExternalSetting(new
String[] {
"org.eclipse.cdt.core.gcc",
"org.eclipse.cdt.core.g++" },
new String[] { "org.eclipse.cdt.core.asmSource"
},
null, includeSettings.toArray(new
ICSettingEntry[0])),
// Library
new CExternalSetting(
null,
new String[] {
"org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.compiledObjectFile" },
null, librarySettings.toArray(new
ICSettingEntry[0])),
// Symbols
new CExternalSetting(new
String[] {
"org.eclipse.cdt.core.gcc",
"org.eclipse.cdt.core.g++" }, null, null,
symbolSettings.toArray(new ICSettingEntry[0])),
};
This succeeds in contributing the paths and symbols to the project, but
they are not shown as built-in e.g. in the Include paths tab. Also, the
compiler will be invoked with -D options which attempt to redefine its
predefined symbols...
Is an external settings provider able to contribute built in
symbols/includes/etc.? I have not been able to find any further
documentation on this, nor any examples.
Thank you very much for your help!
