function tool tip

Post by pnr »

Hi,

Came across codelite recently and I'm impressed!

One question: in the standard hello world program the tooltip for printf( does not appear. If I add a local function, the tooltip for that does appear. Is this behavior as designed or did I do something wrong in installation/configuration? This is the case in both the april and yesterday's release. Platform: osx lion.

Thanks for your advice.

Are any of the standard functions are working for you?

A good place to start checking whether your codelite is setup correctly is: "Settings | Tags Settings | ctags | Include Files" this is where codelite's code completion parser searches for the paths of the various standard include files (like stdio.h etc)

Make sure that the paths there are correct (i.e. exist on the disk and do contain the include files)

You could also try and retag your workspace (From the menu: "Workspace | Retag Workspace (full)")

Some code completion documentation:
