Eclipse CDT - Method 'endExpression' could not be resolved

[jvitku]

Hi, it seems that (from some, to me unknown reason) the Eclipse is unable to Index the single_include/catch.hpp file. Here is the simple example:

#define CATCH_CONFIG_MAIN
#include "catch.hpp"

unsigned int Factorial( unsigned int number ) {
  return number > 1 ? Factorial(number-1)*number : 1;
}
TEST_CASE( "Factorials are computed", "[factorial]" ) {
    REQUIRE( Factorial(0) == 1 );
}

It compiles and tests OK, but the Eclipse marks all REQUIRE lines as error and complains about Method 'endExpression' could not be resolved.

Tried:

• adding catch.hpp into Preprocessor Include Paths in eclipse
• enabled scalability under C++/editor/scalability to 500000 lines
• rebuilding index, cleaning project, open/close Eclipse..

Setup:

• OS X 10.8.2
• g++-4.8
• Eclipse Juno with CDT

Have you filed a bug report with Eclipse?

[jvitku]

OK, I've also felt like this is a problem rather in the Eclipse CDT indexer, so there it is. We'll see.

@kentsangkm's solution in #393 worked for me on Eclipse Luna.

Same here, I tried #393 solution and it worked on Eclipse Luna, Ubuntu

I know this has been circulating for a while but I felt there was enough of a critical mass to push it to the top recently. I've now changed the decomposition operator to <=, which I believe works around the issue here?

Please let me know either way - and also whether the change introduces any warnings for you?

The problem exists since version 1.7.1 again. Is there a chance to "fix" it again in Catch, although in real it is an eclipse problem?

[horenmar]

@manu-m Are you sure its since 1.7.1? Because that one didn't touch the decomposition mechanism. If it started again since 1.7.0, then maybe.

[manu-m]

@horenmar Yes I am sure. I checked it two times again. The message doesn't appear in eclipse while working with Catch 1.7.0 but appears while working with 1.7.1. I am surprised, too.
