Description charlls_quarra CLA 2010-10-02 15:14:58 EDT 
Build Identifier: 20100917-0705

you can add a custom build variable (say, UNITTEST_CPP_CXXFLAGS) and then go to properties->c++ build->settings->tool settings->c++
compiler(miscellaneous) and to 'other flags', and add ${UNITTEST_CPP_CXXFLAGS} there. The compilation step will suceed, however, if the variable is something like "-I/home/users/third_party/UnitTest++/src", the indexer will not be updated with the new include path

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.add a string build variable that contains something like "-I/path/to/include"
2.add to properties->c++ build->settings->tool settings->c++
compiler(miscellaneous) and to 'other flags' the ${variable_just_created}
3.any includes from /path/to/include are not resolved, even if the project succesfully compiles
