Code Completion works bad

[tanq]

I've upgraded to latest version 6752. However code completion engine fails in many situations.

1. Struct member autocomletion fail even on simpliest structures:
a) Works normal:

Code Select Expand


struct TEST
{
int a,
int b,
};
TEST t;


b) FAIL: Only "a" member is visible inside t

Code Select Expand


struct TEST
{
int a,
int b
};
TEST t;


2. Structures from ARM headers aren't visible. Example:

Code Select Expand


/* "LPC11xx.h" */
typedef struct
{
  __IO uint32_t MOD;                    /*!< Offset: 0x000 Watchdog mode register (R/W) */
  __IO uint32_t TC;                     /*!< Offset: 0x004 Watchdog timer constant register (R/W) */
  __O  uint32_t FEED;                   /*!< Offset: 0x008 Watchdog feed sequence register ( /W) */
  __I  uint32_t TV;                     /*!< Offset: 0x00C Watchdog timer value register (R/ ) */
} LPC_WDT_TypeDef;
#define LPC_WDT               ((LPC_WDT_TypeDef    *) LPC_WDT_BASE   )


Now LPC_WDT-> expands to nothing

3. Functions from math.h and other system libraries doesn't work (but from my file works fine)
Example:

Code Select Expand


/* <math.h> */
#ifndef __math_68881
extern double atan _PARAMS((double));
extern double cos _PARAMS((double));
extern double sin _PARAMS((double));
extern double tan _PARAMS((double));
extern double tanh _PARAMS((double));
extern double frexp _PARAMS((double, int *));
extern double modf _PARAMS((double, double *));
extern double ceil _PARAMS((double));
extern double fabs _PARAMS((double));
extern double floor _PARAMS((double));
#endif /* ! defined (__math_68881) */


Code completion doesn't understand that.

sprintf, atoi and other functions aren't visible  too.

It seems CC completely unaware of macros. Is it possible to make it work?

Code Select Expand


struct TEST
{
int a,
int b,
};


Have you tried to replace ',' with ';'?

[tanq]

Obviosly, there is an error, I was trying different situations to find out why it not working

What about system headers?

[oBFusCATed]

extern declarations are ignored if I remember correctly.
Also, the macro preprocessor is not full featured, just yet.

[tanq]

Tanks for reply. I tuned parser options to replace "exern" and "_PARAMS" words to whitespace. Now Library funcitons are shown.
Structs from LPC headers still don't work.

[oBFusCATed]

Can you provide simple project with one such struct + all the required defines?

[tanq]

Yes, here it is (20K size) http://ifile.it/6wqf8i2
This is complete project, it builds successfully and works in hardware. Can be used as template for cortex-m0 / cortex-m3 AMRs.
YAGARTO toolchain used to build. Alternatively, CodeSourcery or KGP toolchain can be used. However they will require to edit standart library paths in "linker path" options.

[oBFusCATed]

Simple project means: one c or cpp with all needed code, and no external requirements

[tanq]

Small extract from the project above. No need for additional headers and defines.

}

After some additional testing I found that CPP files with classes are handled much better.
