Basic new project won't compile because "true" is undefined. (because __cplusplus is?) (IEP-1050)

Open wiegleyj opened this issue 2 years ago • 4 comments

Describe the bug Trying to switch to eclipse and I've got the esp-idf eclipse plugin and tools installed. I created a new project with File->New->Espressif IDF Project.

The main.c program shows "while (true) {" as having the error "Symbol 'true' could not be found".

'true' is defined in stdbool.h and stdbool.h is included in main.c.

It appears that somehow main.c is being treated as a c++ file and __cplusplus is defined and thus cutting out all the boolean defines that are intended for C files. I don't think __cplusplus should be defined for *.c files. I can't find where there is definition is taking place.

To Reproduce Create a new Espressif IDF project. File->New->Espressif IDF Project Try to build.

Expected behavior main.c is expected to build cleanly.

Hi @wiegleyj,

I've noticed that you have the Launch Bar disabled. It's important to have it enabled to build the project with correct configuration. Please follow the below instructions to enable the LaunBar.

  • Go to Preferences...
  • Navigate to Run/Debug > Launching > LaunchBar
  • Check Enable the LaunchBar
  • Click Apply and Close

If you still see an unresolved issue after enabling the launch bar and building the project with it, it is likely caused by some C/C++ 20 language features that are not yet supported by the Eclipse CDT indexer. You can ignore them and make the following settings: https://github.com/espressif/idf-eclipse-plugin/blob/master/FAQ.md#how-to-disable-the-unresolved-symbol-error-markers

I just verified with the Eclipse 20230905-1907 build and ESP-IDF 5.1.1, I don't see any issue with the default example.

Having a launchbar and building a specific target should fix the issue

I enabled launch bar. Thank you, that was helpful (though I don't think it altered anything). The project compiles (I think it did before too). I can flash it and run.

true is still not defined. I'm super skeptical that stdbool.h has changed in C/C++20. I'm not keen on the "solution" to be disabling ALL unresolved symbol errors.

Does it have anything to do with the workspace thinking that *.C (not *.c) are mapped as C++ files? This seems to be an IBM convention and windows doesn't treat filenames as case sensitive. Is it accidentally thinking main.c is main.C and defining __cplusplus?

wiegleyj avatar Oct 19 '23 15:10 wiegleyj

Hi @wiegleyj. I think I was able to reproduce the issue or faced a similar issue. In my case, the indexer was not able to resolve some includes until I close/reopen the project and click on build again. While we further investigating this issue, I recommend you try to close/reopen the project and click build. Also, my indexer settings look like this: image

and project settings: image

I'm not keen on the "solution" to be disabling ALL unresolved symbol errors.

the other possible solution is to suppress the exact place where this issue happens. To do this. Click on bug marker on the specific line and then "Supress problem "Symbol is not resolved"" image
