Title: wxSmith show a untitled item under the root resource tree
Post by: ollydbg on March 13, 2023, 07:01:47 am

Hi, I see a node named "untitled" in the wxSmith's item tree, see the attachment image, any ideas?

You probably have a left over resource in the project file? Can you look at it with a text editor?

I think I have found the reason.

Every C::B cbp(even it is a console project) will have a node shown in the wxSmith's item tree. The untitled node is from the "Clangd_client plugin", because it will create a dummy project.  ;)

I think we have to fix it.

Yes, clangd_client has a hidden "proxy" project.

But I don't understand what this has to do with wxSmith, or why it would show up in a wxSmith tree.

Can you explain this to me?
Can you tell me how to show it for myself.
Maybe I can "hide" it again.

Unfortunately, we need this hidden project in order for clangd_client to add "unowned" files that do not have a parent project.
Else we can't send them to clangd for parsing/analysis.

If you open the C::B without opening any cbp files, you will see wxSmith show a untitled node.

I think what wxSmith does is try to add one node for each cbp, whether the cbp is hidden or not.

Fixed in Head 13233

Clangd_Client v1.2.64 23/03/14
Fix "untitled" project appearing in wxSmith resources by removing <Extensions> from the ~ProxyProject~.cbp thereby avoiding wxSmith's LoadHook invocation.

wxSmith is not removing closed projects from it's wxsResources.

Clangd_client creates and closes the ~ProxyProject~, but wxSmith created an entry in its wxsResource container during its Project Load Hook, but does not delete it during its OnProjectClose event.

Since clangd_client doesn't use <Extensions> anyway, it was easier to solve the problem by modifying the ~ProxyProject~.cbp.

wxSmith should actually remove closed projects from it's wxsResource containers during the OnProjectClose event. However, wxSmith looks too complex for me to mangle.

Hi, Pecan, many thanks for the fix. I will try to build the latest C::B svn trunk to test it.

I can confirm the bug is fixed now, thanks.

About the wxSmith, It also looks a bit complex to me, hope some day, I have time to read those code again. Maybe, we can use the chapGPT like AI tool to read the code, and it can explain the code structure to me.  :)
