Here's a patch that creates and manages a CDT log file in the .metadata\.plugins\org.eclipse.cdt.core folder. This log file, for now, will contain indexer failure messages and parser failure messages - particularly inclusion failures. These messages were being logged to the PDE error log which, given the number of failures that we can expect on some files, was filling up rather quickly. I put a 5MB limit on the CDT log file after which it gets deleted and a new one gets created. The intent of this log file is to help a user figure out why something isn't being indexed properly - the usual reasons are: i) can't find an include file, ii) symbols not defined.
Also in this patch are 2 minor UI fixes: i) dedicated to Brent - Ctrl+H now brings up the C++ Search Dialog for all C Editor supported extensions, and ii) especially for Alain - F3 will perform a Open Declarations.
This patch contains some minor UI changes and a big chunk of work to add
built-in symbols and includes search paths to a tool specification.
The UI change is a switch from dynamically resizing the property page when
an option category is selected from the list, but rather using a scrolled
edit area. Now, if the option set is larger than the viewable area, a
horizontal and/or vertical scrollbar is displayed.
In terms of built-ins, there is no UI support to change the values just
yet. That is coming, but I wanted to get the framework and some
definitions in place so that the indexer and scanner can start using them.
