I'm using Eclipse 3.4 (Ganymede) with CDT 5 on Windows. When the integrated spell checker doesn't know some word, it proposes (among others) the option to add the word to a user dictionary. If the user dictionary doesn't exist yet, the spell checker offers then to help configuring it and shows the "General/Editors/Text Editors/Spelling...
I'm using Eclipse as my IDE for a C++ project, and I would love for it to tell me where a given symbol is defined and what the parameters are for a function. However, there's a catch: I also use Lazy C++, a tool that takes a single source file and generates the .h and the .cpp files. Those .lzz files look like headers, but this tool sup...
I've recently started using Eclipse Ganymede CDT for C development and I couldn't like it more. I'm aware the learning curve could be sort of pronounced, therefore and with your help, my goal is to flatten it as much as possible. I'm looking for the best hacks, hints, tips, tricks, and best practices to really unleash the full power of t...
The output we get when printing C++ sources from Eclipse is rather ugly. Is there are way/a plugin to pretty print C++ source code like e.g. with a2ps (which is probably using yet another filter for C source code)? ...
I don't use Eclipse as an IDE, and have no interest in doing so. However, I do like its source-level debugging. Is there any way I can use it to debug a C++ Linux app without going through the ritual of creating a project? (In effect, can I just use it like a frontend to gdb?) If not, what are the steps I need to follow to create a p...
I have a large existing c++ codebase. Typically the users of the codebase edit the source with gvim, but we'd like to start using the nifty IDE features in Eclipse. The codebase has an extensive directory hierarchy, but the source files use include directives without paths due to some voodoo we use in our build process. When I link th...
I am trying to use Ganymede CDT to index our large codebase. It is painfully slow, can take a whole night to index the C++ files. Same project takes only 5 seconds to index with exuberant ctags 5.7. Is there some way to find what the root of the problem is and to speed it up? Maybe turn on logging in CDT, or some obscure option somewher...
What is the best solution to build several CDT C++ projects from the command line? The projects have references and so it is not possible to just build single projects. ...
Is it possible in Eclipse to have some kind of packages (sets of projects) when using CDT projects? We have separated our software in such packages and use VS2005 with .sln files for the Windows parts. At the moment I see only two ways to manage the projects in Eclipse: Put all together into a single workspace and loose the package or...
Hello, I've been trying to use CDT with Eclipse 3.4 under Windows XP with cygwin. What do I need to do, in order to get startet? I used "eclipse-cpp-ganymede-SR1-win32.zip" found on the Eclipse homepage. Edit: The main problem is, that I cannot compile and run the code. In the run configuration, I tried gcc.exe for the C/C++ Applica...
I'm writing a netscape iplanet plugin (on solaris/C using eclipse) which is basically a shared object with specific entry points, and I'd like to be able to debug the shared object with eclipse's debugger (gdb). I remember doing something similar in AIX where you could make xldb attach to a running process. Is it possible to get eclipse ...
Eclipse CDT provides two indexers for C/C++ code (Preferences > C/C++ > Indexer). Does anybody know what the exact difference is between these two? The help file isn't exactly enlightening: "CDT supports the contribution of additional indexers, with 2 indexers being provided with the default CDT release: Fast C/C++ In...
Besides just the CDT what do you find essential for c development using eclipse? ...
I want to modify an Eclipse workspace programatically from within a plugin (adding existing projects is my main request). Also I want to modify CDT options (environment, indexer options) from within that plugin. Does anyone know how to best do this or can point me to good documentations on that topic? EDIT: Actually I don't want to mod...
Hello, Below I m mentioning what is my requirement. In my project Understand’s API were used. Using that APIs I was able to open database, close it, list the names of a project , list the names of functions in a file n so on. Understand provided a udb.lib for that which I will be including. But in Eclipse CDT, there are plug-ins no ...
Hello, I want to know how the Eclipse Workbench UI communicates with the GNU debugger. What I mean is in the Eclipse for C/C++, when we press the step over or resume or continue buttons in the menu, what happens behind the scenes? As in how is the GNU gdb invoked? How does gdb know which function to execute? How does the UI communicate ...
How can I make Eclipse CDT store its .settings folder in the project folder instead of .metadata.plugins\org.eclipse.core.runtime.settings ? More general, can Eclipse put all the settings there? Background for the question is: I think there are many settings that I wand to put into SVN to archive and share in the project, but putting t...
Hello, How i can install the CDT plug-in (that you can develop in C++ under Eclipse) in my Eclipse Ganymede, remember that I use Windows Vista. Thanks! ...
Hi. I have installed (on Linux) and configured CDT successfully. I need to create dialog-based application with Eclipce CDT(C++). How can I to make it? Thx! ...
