Description Richard Eames

I've been tinkering with python's internals this past week, and I've been having trouble trying to get eclipse to recognise all the macros defined. I've tried defining some of them in project > properties > C++ General > Paths and Symbols > Symbols. This seems to work for a few seconds, then eclipse again decides the macros cannot be resolved, despite being able to CTRL+click on them and got to the definition.

I haven't yet been able to write a test case for this as I don't know where exactly the problem lies; but my project setup is thus:
- Python 2.7 source extracted to a folder.
- New C project under eclipse pointed to the Python source.
- Added include paths from the Python source to project settings.

The most common macros I'm trying to remove the errors for are the reference count ones: Py_INCREF, Py_DECREF.

Reproducible: Always

This is a parser problem.

It would be great if you could try to isolate the issue into a minimal project, so that we could create a test case for the parser.

If you're still seeing this, please feel free to reopen and provide a small testcase as requested in comment 1.
