Problem with $(ACTIVE_EDITOR_FILENAME) in Tools

(1/2) > >>

Pecan:
Tools used to substitue $(ACTIVE_EDITOR_FILENAME) in Tools.
I cannot get it to do so since the latest SVN 3222.
Has this been deprecated since %s etc work in abbreviations?

thomas:
Not on purpose. Will look at it tomorrow (actually today).

thomas:
Input:




Output:
-------------- Build: default in activeeditorfilename ---------------
mingw32-g++.exe -Wall -O2  -DD:\Desktop\activeeditorfilename\main.cpp  -IC:\MinGW\include  -c main.cpp -o obj\main.o
<command line>:1:2: warning: ISO C requires whitespace after the macro name
mingw32-g++.exe -LC:\MinGW\lib  -o .\activeeditorfilename.exe obj\main.o   -s 
Process terminated with status 0 (0 minutes, 1 seconds)
0 errors, 1 warnings

Don't see anything unusual? Seems to work just fine for me.


EDIT:
Yes, this is the compiler, not tools, I know ;) That's because I never use tools, so I don't even know where to find the menu entry :lol:

But seriously: Compiler, tools, and everything else call the very same function to expand variables, so it either works for all, or it works for none.

thomas:
But... you're right.

I tried tools and configured this:



... and got:

$(ACTIVE_EDITOR_NAME) 15728 2006-11-16 D:\wxWidgets-2.6.3

Process returned 0 (0x0)   execution time : 0.031 s
Press any key to continue.

Everything is expanded correctly, except $(ACTIVE_EDITOR_NAME).

thomas:
I've implemented a partial fix so far. Partial as in "fixes the problem you observed", but it still doesn't work.

The problem that you observed is peculiar insofar as $(ACTIVE_EDITOR_NAME) is not recognised as variable at all. And more, this is true for any other variable being at the beginning of a string, too. That's because the regex matching the variables was too simple (worked fine for the compiler, which I tested with). This is fixed now.

However, now I see another issue. $(ACTIVE_EDITOR_NAME) is recognised as variable, but it seems to be empty.
