Title: Double $$'s on Tools configuration
Post by: Pecan on November 26, 2015, 04:15:06 pm

Tools->Configure tools->add shows Double $$'s prepended to macros.

Is it really supposed to be double $$'s ?

svn build  rev 10570 (2015-11-14 16:53:59)   gcc 4.9.2 Windows/unicode - 32 bit

I can confirm the issue. I don't know what is correct, probably single dollar sign.

I've played around with it for awhile, and I cannot make $$(macro) work. It always prints the same value as the macro name, ie., $$(projectdir) just prints out '$(projectdir)'.

If there's no objection, I'll change $$(<macro>) back to $(<macro>).

Do you mean in the description of the UI? It has been with $$ for many years, I don't know why but I also always use the $ macros, of course.

It might have been becasue it needed to be masked as it is in an XRC file... at least nowadays there is no need for it.

No objections if you want to change it.

I've actually a local version of a similar case in advanced compiler options...
But it also fixes the underscores as they're missing currently

You might want to take a look ;)
