I'm currently Studying Computer enginering and taking embeded systems class, My isuse is that we use a custom library then compile it in a old version of Codewarrior.
how I would go about creating an include path for my lsp with nvim
I was woundering how I would go about creating an include path for my lsp with nvim, when I am not compiling the code localy but later compiling it with an old IDE
any wisdom would be apreciated.
note: in class we are required to use an exterior editor and the older version of code warrior is verry bad it is used for compiling for our micro controler but is unusable for writting code.
things I have done
I have atempted using compile_commands.json by coppying my vscode config for path location
I have tryed using a .clangd file with -I ...
I have tried other method but had no sucess so far
over all I was hopping to find a solution and have poured over the getting started page and stack overflow for several hours trying diffrent method to no avail.
The easiest approach is probably to use a .clangd file. Based on the path in your comment, the .clangd file should look like this:
CompileFlags:
Add: -I/home/bjc1269/Documents/github/libraries/lib/hc12c/include
A few things that I'm seeing in the .clangd file in your comment that don't work are:
Variable substitutions like ${workspaceFolder}. This is a VSCode feature that works in some VSCode settings like "clangd.arguments", but is not supported in a .clangd file, which is editor-agnostic (for example, it works with editors that don't have a concept of a "workspace").
Referring to your home directory as ~. Expanding ~ to /home/<username> is a feature of your shell. Command-line arguments specified in .clangd are passed directly to the compiler without being processed by the shell, so ~ will not work.
Globs like **. To be honest, I'm not even sure what the intended semantics for this could be in the context of specifying include directories.
Square brackets inside the argument to -I. Square brackets may appear in a .clangd file as YAML syntax for specifying multiple values in a list, for example you might have:
CompileFlags:
Add: [-I/path/to/directory1, -I/path/to/directory2]
But if you write -I=[/path/to/directory], the brackets just get passed on verbatim to the compiler, which does not understand this syntax.
First of all: Welcome to stackoverflow! :D
I'd recommend to use bear for this. You just simply invoke it with your build-command and the clangd LSP will read the includes automatically.
[RHEL v7.3, Eclipse Photon, C/C++ Project with Eclipse-generated Makefile]
Attempting to include a custom library named cheddar.h results in
Fatal Error: cheddar.h: no such file or directory
Research 1 and 2 suggests manually adding the include path by first alt-clicking the project in Project Explorer, and then manually adding the path :
Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols : Includes : Languages, GNU C++
No luck.
It works if I do things the old-fashioned way, and add the path to the makefile with a -I option, like so
-I/home/kmiklas/lib/
..but I feel like I'm working-around the issue, and I want this set up properly; the way it should be set up.
How do I correctly specify a custom include path in Eclipse? Tyvm :^)
What is wrong with CMake/Makefile?
I don’t know, but this just sounds like an XY problem. But what’s even more confusing is how you’re so reluctant to use a solution that you’ve already got (as in it’s bugging me).
Anyway
What may aid you in this is to ditch eclipse’s settings and just use the compiler’s. Eclipse uses (GCC/G++ (probably)). What you can do is set some environment variables DUN DUN DUHH!
These environment variables are aptly named: C_INCLUDE_PATH and CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH. If, however, you want the same for both (you want to use it for both languages) you can just set CPATH.
You’re probably thinking: what else can I do with this marvel... and for that I direct you to the official GCC website.
I'm trying to load a DLL I'm making with Visual Studio 2015 using a 3rd party software for debug it. In this case, I'm creating a VST instrument and load it with SaviHost, following this tutorial.
This is my current setup:
the Target Path is D:\Google Drive\Development\WDL-OL\IPlugExamples\DefaultProject\build-win\vst2\Win32\bin\DefaultProject.dll.
How you can see, there is "empty space" in the path, and I think this make problem with VS, since when I try to F5 it, I see this message:
Google.dll makes no sense. It seems cut the path and "fail" loading a different resource? How can I fix this trouble?
I'd like to not move my whole workspace...
You can use quotes to make sure that the path gets parsed as a single argument, as long as the program you're debugging uses the typical rules on windows for command line parsing.
E.g.
"$(TargetPath)" /example
As a C# developer, I have become highly dependent on the automatic formatting in Visual Studio 2008. Specifically, I will use the CTRL + K , D keyboard shortcut to force things back into shape after my sloppy implementation.
I am now trying to learn Objective-C and am missing certain features in Xcode, but probably none are quite as painful as the formatting shortcut. My Google searches have yielded nothing built in, though it seems there are some hacks. Am I missing something or does this feature not exist natively in Xcode?
That's Ctrl + i.
Or for low-tech, cut and then paste. It'll reformat on paste.
Unfortunately, Xcode doesn't have anything nearly as extensive as VS or Jalopy for Eclipse available. There are SOME disparate features, such as Structure > Re-Indent as well as the auto-formatting used when you paste code into your source file. I am totally with you, though; there definitely should be something in there to help with formatting issues.
I'd like to recommend two options worth considering. Both quite new and evolving.
ClangFormat-Xcode (free) - on each cmd+s file is reformatted to specific style and saved, easy to deploy within team
An Xcode plug-in to format your code using Clang's format tools, by
#travisjeffery.
With clang-format you can use Clang to format your code to styles such
as LLVM, Google, Chromium, Mozilla, WebKit, or your own configuration.
Objective-Clean (paid, didn't try it yet) - app raising build errors if predefined style rules are violated - possibly quite hard to use within the team, so I didn't try it out.
With very minimal setup, you can get Xcode to use our App to enforce
your rules. If you are ever caught violating one of your rules, Xcode
will throw a build error and take you right to the offending line.
In xcode, you can use this shortcut to Re-indent your source code
Go to file, which has indent issues, and follow this :
Cmd + A to select all source codes
Ctrl + I to re-indent
Hope this helps.
My personal fav PrettyC wantabe is uncrustify: http://uncrustify.sourceforge.net/. It's got a few billion options however so I also suggest you download UniversalIndentGUI_macx, (also on sourceforge) a GUI someone wrote to help set the options the way you like them.
You can then add this custom user script to uncrustify the selected text:
#! /bin/sh
#
# uncrustify!
echo -n "%%%{PBXSelection}%%%"
/usr/local/bin/uncrustify -q -c /usr/local/share/uncrustify/geo_uncrustify.cfg -l oc+ <&0
echo -n "%%%{PBXSelection}%%%"
You can use Command + A to select all content and next Ctrl + I to format the selected content.
I also feel xcode should have this function.
So I made an extension to do it: Swimat
Simple install by brew cask install swimat
You can give it a try, see https://github.com/Jintin/Swimat for more information.
Cmd A + Ctrl I
Or Cmd A And then Right Click. Goto Structure -> Re-Indent
Consider buying yourself a license for AppCode, an intelligent Objective-C IDE that helps iOS/OS X developers. AppCode is fully compatible with Xcode, but goes beyond Xcode in adding powerful features.
AppCode an Objective-C variant of the Intellij IDEA IDE from JetBrains. They are also authors of popular ReSharper extension to Visual Studio, which main purpose from here seems like a desperate attempt to bring a touch of IDEA experience to a Microsoft product.
AppCode is using its own code analyser which gives close-to-perfect refactoring and code navigation support. There is an ability to re-indent and completely reformat code also (although I still keep missing a couple of formatting settings in hard cases, but mostly it works well).
You might try the trial version, of course.
Swift - https://github.com/nicklockwood/SwiftFormat
It provides Xcode Extension as well as CLI option.
CTRL + i
that's it.
(no COMMAND + i)
You can also have a look at https://github.com/octo-online/Xcode-formatter which is a formatter based on Uncrustify and integrated into Xcode. Works like a charm.
You could try that XCode plugin https://github.com/benoitsan/BBUncrustifyPlugin-Xcode
Just clone github repository, open plugin project in XCode and run it. It will be installed automatically. Restart Xode before using formatter plugin.
Don't forget to install uncrustify util before. Homebrew, for exmaple
brew install uncrustify
P.S. You can turn on "after save formatting" feature at Edit > Format Code > BBUncrustifyPlugin Preferences > Format On Save
Hope this will be useful for u ;-)
I suggest using ClangFormat. In order to install, please follow these steps:
Install Alcatraz package manager for XCode
Supports Xcode 5+ & OS X 10.9+
After installation restart XCode.
Open XCode -> Window Menu -> Package Manager
Search (find) ClangFormat and install it. After installation again restart XCode.
Now at XCode menu you can use Edit -> Clang Format submenu for formatting.
You can choose different types of formatting. Also by enabling Format On Save you can gain auto-format capability.
If your Xcode version 3.x , you should use "User Script" With Uncrustify , here this a Example:
#!/bin/sh
echo -n "%%%{PBXSelection}%%%"
$YOURPATH_TO_UNCRUSTIFY/uncrustify -q -c $YOURPATH_TO_UNCRUSTIFY_CONFIG/CodeFormatConfig.cfg -l OC+
echo -n "%%%{PBXSelection}%%%"
add above to your Xcode "User Script".
if Xcode version 4.x , I think you should read this blog : Code Formatting in Xcode 4,
In this way , used the "Apple Services" , but it's not good enough , cause too slow experience, does anyone has the same thing ?
why apple drop "user script" .... xD
First, Examine XCode Preferences "Indentation" section. You can customize things quite a bit there...
For more fine grained control, refer to the XCode User Defaults document from apple. (May require a developer login to view). For example, I was able to disable the "indent on paste" by entering the following in terminal:
defaults write com.apple.XCODE PBXIndentOnPaste No
to read back your setting:
defaults read com.apple.XCODE PBXIndentOnPaste
This only works for languages with are not whitespace delineated, but my solution is to remove all whitespace except for spaces, then add a newline after characters that usually delineate EOL (e.g. replace ';' with ';\n') then do the ubiquitous ^+i solution.
I use Python.
Example code, just replace the filenames:
python -c "import re; open(outfile,'w').write(re.sub('[\t\n\r]','',open(infile).read()).replace(';',';\n').replace('{','{\n').replace('}','}\n'))"
It 's not perfect (Example: for loops), but I like it.
We can use Xcode Formatter which uses uncrustify to easily format your source code as your team exactly wants to be!.
Installation
The recommended way is to clone GitHub project or download it from https://github.com/octo-online/Xcode-formatter and add the CodeFormatter directory in your Xcode project to get :
Xcode shortcut-based code formatting: a shortcut to format modified sources in the current workspace
automatic code formatting: add a build phase to your project to format current sources when application builds
all sources formatting: format all your code with one command line
your formatting rules shared by project: edit and use a same configuration file with your project dev team
1) How to setup the code formatter for your project
Install uncrustify
The simplest way is to use brew:
$ brew install uncrustify
To install brew:
$ ruby –e “$(curl –fsSkl raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)”
Check that uncrustify is located in /usr/local/bin
$ which uncrustify
If your uncrustify version is lower than 0.60, you might have to install it manually since modern Objective-C syntax has been added recently.
Add CodeFormatter directory beside your .xcodeproj file
Check that your Xcode application is named "Xcode" (default name)
You can see this name in the Applications/ directory (or your custom Xcode installation directory). Be carefull if you have multiple instances of Xcode on your mac: ensure that project's one is actually named "Xcode"!
(Why this ? This name is used to find currently opened Xcode files. See CodeFormatter/Uncrustify_opened_Xcode_sources.workflow appleScript).
Install the automator service Uncrustify_opened_Xcode_sources.workflow
Copy this file to your ~/Library/Services/ folder (create this folder if needed).Be careful : by double-clicking the .workflow file, you will install it but the file will be removed! Be sure to leave a copy of it for other users.
How to format opened files when building the project
Add a build phase "run script" containing the following line:
sh CodeFormatter/scripts/formatOpendSources.sh
How to format files in command line
To format currently opened files, use formatOpenedSources.sh:
$sh CodeFormatter/scripts/formatOpendSources.sh
To format all files, use formatAllSources.sh:
$sh CodeFormatter/scripts/formatAllSources.sh PATH
PATH must be replaced by your sources path.
E:g; if project name is TestApp then the command will be
$sh CodeFormatter/scripts/formatAllSources.sh TestApp
it will look for all files in the project and will format all the files as configured in uncrustify_objective_c.cfg file.
How to change formatter’s rules
Edit CodeFormatter/uncrustify_objective_c.cfg open with TextEdit
Well I was searching for an easy way. And find out on medium.
First to copy the json text and validate it on jsonlint or something similar. Then to copy from jsonlint, already the json is formatted. And paste the code on Xcode with preserving the format, shortcut shift + option + command + v
I'm trying to set my project include to the path %OPENCV_246%\..\..\include
This resolves to the path F:\dev\opencv_246\build\include
However, when setting the project includes, that path will not resolve and as a result the included headers break.
I've tried both %OPENCV_246%\..\..\include and $(OPENCV_246)\..\..\include with no luck.
Using the path directly fixes my includes, but I'd like to have a better way of managing the path through environment variables.
In the screenshot I've added both for clarity, If anyone could point out the step I'm missing here I'd appreciate it.
EDIT: Variable OPENCV_246 contains value F:\dev\opencv_246\build\x86\vc11
Dev studio won't recognize any environment variables that have been changed since it was started, so if you change one, a restart is required (of Dev studio, not the computer).
https://superuser.com/questions/107521/why-are-changes-to-my-path-not-being-recognised
This sounded similar to my problem, which was getting VS2013 to acknowledge a change I made to my environment variable (in my case QTDIR). Even after a restart and a shutdown, it obstinately hung on to the old value !! (you can see the value if you go to edit a project setting, hit the "Macros" button, and scroll down the list to find e.g. "$(QTDIR)" )
Here it suggest VS2010 cahed values heavily, but 2013 seems even more keen !
After some FindInFiles for the old path, it seems that VS2013 caches environment variables in your .vcxproj.user file. I have no idea how it got in there in the first place.
So I deleted the entry, closed the solution, checked the file again in WordPad to make sure the entry hadn't been put back in. Then I re-opened the solution, but the old value was still there in the Macros list !
Closing VS seems to have done the trick. Now it seems to have the right path - although I'm sure I checked after I first opened the solution and QTDIR wasn't in the Macros list at all - maybe I'm confused...
Well, it all seems to be working now, and my project builds and links to my Qt libs without complaints :-)
And, the entry in the vcxproj.user file hasn't come back. So I still don't know how it got in there. Maybe I did something to cause it a while back in a previous version of VS...
