Recursiv adding subfolders to code completion search folders

[Yaakuro]

Hi

I did not know where to put this feature request. Sorry if this is the wrong place. I like to suggest (I would be awesome to have it) a recursive add sub folders checkbox in the code completion search paths. I assume all folders that should be used in the search path for the code completion must be added manually. Some projects have really a lot of sub folders (include) which makes it hard to add all. That button would add all subfolders that is selected by the Add button.
I hope there is a change to add something like that to the next version of codelite.
And another thing is, to have the Add/Suggest path button in the Workspace Settings (Code Completion) too. That would make codelite even more awesome

Its a feature request.
However, I am not sure you need this, since codelite uses the compiler settings to locate your include paths. i.e. if the compiler can find the header files, than so does the code-completion engine
The feature of manually adding search paths for the code completion is there mainly to assist when using a custom makefile project (in this case, codelite can not rely on the project settings to get the include paths from)

Hi Eran

Thx for your reply. Ok, but I have the feeling that it does not always find files which are in sub folders. I have to specify manually to get the code completion working correctly. Using GNU/Linux and Mac. Or maybe I do something wrong?

Which version of codelite are you using?
( I am not really sure on which version I added this capability )

Also, have you tried using clang? http://codelite.org/LiteEditor/ClangIntegration41

I am using 6.1 and testet today the 7.0 version on Mac. So the same behaviour. On Linux it works. If I just include headers on Linux, code completion works but not on Mac.

Hi Eran

I made a small video. You can see the settings and how it behaves.

Hi,
When enabling clang - you need to re-build your workspace at least once - this is described here (marked with bold)

Workspace->Retag workspace (full) will not help you here, it only affects the ctags parser

EDIT:
In the "Output View" you have a "Clang" tab, it will show you the errors of why clang failed to code complete
