Title: what does the macro STANDALONE in parser.cpp used for?
Post by: ollydbg on May 12, 2010, 03:01:41 pm

I have blame the parser.cpp, and find that the macro usage like:

Code

#ifndef STANDALONE
    #include <configmanager.h>
    #include <logmanager.h>
    #include <editormanager.h>
    #include <manager.h>
    #include <globals.h>
    #include <infowindow.h>
#endif // STANDALONE

In the parser.cpp is came from the "revision 5" when the parser.cpp was initially added to the trunk.

So, my question is: what does these preprocessor directive used for ?
It seems when we defined this macro, I still can't build a stand alone program. (The same effort is the parserTest project were have created in this ParserTester for codecompletion plugin (http://forums.codeblocks.org/index.php/topic,12066.0.html)

In the ParserTester project, we only include the "parserthread" class, so the Parser.cpp is not included.

So, my suggestion is: Can these preprocessor directive removed? I can't find any reason we should keep it there.

Thanks.

Maybe, the boss mandrav can ask this question.  :D Thanks.

Probably it's better to ask RickG22. IIRC there used to be a stand-alone (UI based) version of the CC "plugin". Not sure where it went to, but it' most likely incomplete / not working now.

At that point, it was possible to compile the CC plugin files (with an additional main.cpp file) as a standalone executable for easier testing of the parser.
I doubt this can be done nowadays so feel free to ignore it or even remove it.

Thanks for your reply!!!

Ha, the parserTest project can just do this.
