CodeLite IDE

Posted: **Wed Jan 13, 2016 10:59 pm**

Hey,

working with CodeLite again and found some "bugs/issues"

Version 9.0.7
Windows 10 64bit

1.) Using

#include <vector>

using MyContainer = std::vector<int>;

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
	MyContainer container;
       container.push_back(1);
    
	return 0;
}

CodeLite will give me no code completion for the variable container. I think the problem is the using type def?!

2.) New Class Dialog
Is it possible to make CodeLite remember my last choice to use #pragma once?!

3.) Open Folder in explorer
Is there a possibility to add an option to open a folder in the OS file explorer like in Visual Studio C#? Right click => Open Folder in File Explorer?

Questions:
a) Does CodeLite offer a mechanism for program resources?! E.G. I have a project containing images, mp3s etc. in a CodeLite folder (virtual or not) and to copy it to the working directory (debug) without writing a post build batch script?!
b) What is the Explorer for?! To manually drag folders and see the files inside this folder?! i am missing the use case here?!

The builtin Code completion is limited and has its limits. To get a full code completion, please enable clang code completion:

Please open a bug

Right click on the file in the explorer and select 'Open containing folder' - this will open Windows Explorer/OSX Finder/Linux file manager and will select the file

I am not sure I understand what you looking for, can you give an example for such integration in other IDEs?

Some times you want to open a file which is not part of the workspace (imagine a PHP workspace, but you still want to quickly open Apache's configuration file, or Nginx or... )
The Explorer allows you 'dock' multiple root folders (File->Open->Open Folder) and it also allows you search different root folders (they don't have to have the same parent) quickly and more...

Hi Eran,

thanks for your answer!

1.) Just curious: Why does the clang code completion work this way?! Do I have to assume any drawbacks now, using it with gcc/mingw?!
2.) Okay, I will open a bug/issue
3.) I can't find the menu entry for "Open containing folder", see this screenshot:

"Open with default application" opens Visual Studio 2013.
Edit: if you mean the Explorer tab in CodeLite => This tab is always empty to me. I have to drag the project folder manually into the tab to see something, seems rather awkward to get this feature this way...

I mean to add some resources to the project, that will be copied to the working directory. Similar to Visual Studio C# resources, where you can mark files as Resources and "copy" so these files will be in the same directory as your executable.
In case of a game => Images and soundfiles should be copied to the output directory upon deployment/testing/debugging and I want to manage these resources with CodeLite instead with the OS explorer (for each build config Debug/Release).

And thanks for the explaination for the CodeLite Explorer, makes sense!

Works how? You just need to enable clang code completion and: Workspace->Parse Workspace - Incremental'
Clang is disabled by default, because it consume much more resources (memory) and its slower (but not _that_ slow)

You mentioned the "Explorer" not the "Workspace" tab...
Instead, you can right click on an open file's tab and select 'Open Containing Folder'

I wanted to know what's the difference between normal CC and Clang CC. As you stated it uses much more resources

If it gets to slow for me, I know what's wrong.
But the Clang CC seems to fire up only after I type a character, but that's okay.

Sorry, I meant the Windows Explorer in this case :/
But okay, thanks, this will do it for me

And I guess for project resource files I have to stick with managing them via a Post-Build script and the Windows File Explorer.
