Re: [cdt-dev] Syntax and Semantic errors being on by default
|
Thank you for the replies everyone.
Just to make things clear, I do appreciate the semantic errors and have
them enabled. I am only worried about users who don't know how to setup
the indexer correctly or those who can't because of a special
environment. I guess the cdt-dev list is not the best place to get
opinions from the former so it's hard to determine if that represents a
big portion of the users or only a small fraction.
Since there is no consensus on whether or not the errors should be
enabled by default, I think they should be left enabled by default.
However, to help alleviate the issue, I would like to propose:
- A wiki page dedicated to achieving the best results with the indexer.
Forums and bugzilla can link to this page when false positives are reported.
- A quick fix "Configure Paths and Symbols" that links to the page in
the project properties
- A quick fix to disable individual codan problems
- A fix for bug 349590 (Introduce quick fixes in hovers for Codan
problems) to make the quick fixes more accessible

Hi,
I've been thinking for a while that Syntax and Semantic errors should
be disabled by default (ProblemBindingChecker). If you've been reading
the forums and bugzilla, you might have noticed that a lot of users
are struggling with the errors. The fact is that even if the indexer
is really good, it is not perfect. Getting very good results can
require a lot of patience and knowledge of how the system works. I
wasn't sure before but now I'm fairly convinced that the burden of
configuring the indexer properly is too much for a lot of users. I
would like to hear your opinions on whether or not the errors should
be kept enabled by default.
Thank you,
Marc-Andre
