Title: How to add additional search paths to code completion parser with wizard
Post by: riban on December 16, 2017, 12:18:27 am
I am writing a new project wizard to create a C++ project for the Sming (ESP8266) framework. I would like to add search paths to the project properties C/C++ parser options so that auto complete works for the Sming library functions. I see that this is stored in the <Project><Extensions><code_completion> section of the project file but I cannot figure out how to add paths using wizard scripting.
I have this working using the simple template method but that is not as user friendly, hence my desire to use a wizard.

You could probably use the void cbProject::AddToExtensions(const wxString& stringDesc) method.

I cannot find any description of what syntax the argument should be for AddToExtensions(wxString). I would need to pass the extension (code_completion) and the data which in the project file is an XML tag with attribute, e.g. <search_path add="my_include_path" />).

I have found this in the source code of cbproject.cpp:

Look here, maybe you hit the limitations described here: https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/513/
I will look into this later....

I have added a ticket #584 for this to the issue tracking system. Looking at the source code I can't figure out why this isn't working in 16.01 and latest nightly (on Windows 7).
