I found that if we use the old command, sometimes we will failed to correct the gcc include paths. e.g. with gcc4.6, it will failed to collect the include paths.
see below:
nativiparser.cpp, line 1079
when running the command:

if (wxExecute(Command, Output, Errors, wxEXEC_SYNC | wxEXEC_NODISABLE) == -1)

look, we will get failed on running this command on mingw gcc 4.6.1.

I have test this patch on both mingw gcc 4.5.x and gcc 4.6.1(pcx), both works fine.

Ollydbg: test also the "official" 4.4.x + older compilers 4.1 or something like that.

I 'm disposed to change to :

Code Select Expand


wxString Command = cpp_compiler + _T(" -v -E -x c++ -dD nul");

This can avoid "-<" output error in wxWidgets, and the content to output is much more, which contains all pre-defined compiler macros, and that can be a better supplement of CC plugin. The CC plugin may use "-dD" to distinguish the value of these pre-defined compiler macros.

[ollydbg]

what does "-<" means?
I can't find this option from: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Option-Summary.html

But I don't think -dD is need, because CC has another function to collect the predefined macros.
look at:
bool NativeParser::AddCompilerPredefinedMacros(cbProject* project, Parser* parser)
it use:
const wxString args(_T(" -dM -E -< nul")); under mingw.

[ollydbg]

add a ref:

But there is no such "-<"?
Maybe, morten can say something about this.

Edit:
the command options list: (I can't find any usage of "-<")...

Yes, I know that. But "-< nul" has something error in wx. This also uses wxExecute:

wxExecute(cpp_compiler + args, output, wxEXEC_SYNC | wxEXEC_NODISABLE) == -1

"-dM -E -< nul" may have some errors in some compiler (including my gcc 4.6.1).
So I suggest all avoid "-<".

So I suggest all avoid "-<".

Or we should report this error to wx.

Try this patch?

Try this patch?

Test on mingw 4.6.x and 4.5.x, both work fine!
No time to test other mingw version ...

I also test it, then my used editions work fine.
