Code completion not working on external (GLib) library

(1/2) > >>

just_some_random_name:
Hello,
so I'm using multiple external libraries that work fine with code completion plugin.
However, I cannot get it to work with glib 2.0 (ubuntu package: libglib2.0-dev). To be precise - no hints are showing after typing few letters of the library's function (I'm able to compile without issue).
I have dev package of it installed, so I have all the headers files in /usr/include/

I tried to run codeblocks with --debug-log parameter, however, nothing interesting related to the issue showed up in the debug log.

 I tried code completion in other editors (visual code), where I was able to see the hints. I guess there's issue with parsing the header files by codeblocks?  Is there any way how can I further debug?

Thanks!

System: Kubuntu 18.04
C::B: 17.12

CC doesn't support macros and templates well. You can try to copy paste content from the glib headers in a new empty file/project until you find the thing which breaks it.

So my only chance is to modify the headers? No way to somehow configure CC?

Is CC being worked on? So if I find the offending issue in headers, will there be a chance for a fix to be implemented in CC?

If it is caused by something not supported by the parser, then no setting could fix the problem.

I don't work on it, cannot comment for others. But if you don't log it the chance of it being fixed is close to 0.

Since last version was released 7 years ago, my hopes aren't exactly high, but I'll do my best. Should I use CB issue tracker? (https://sourceforge.net/p/codeblocks/tickets/) ?
