Description Espinosa CZ 2007-09-19 20:30:01 EDT

Build ID: I20070621-1340

Steps To Reproduce:
1. download sources of Kdenlive project
2. go to main.cpp
3. try to use Content Assist for Gui::KdenliveApp or its instance


More information:
Project Kdenlive. http://www.kdenlive.org/
svn co https://kdenlive.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kdenlive/trunk/kdenlive kdenlive

Content Assist is severely broken. It recognizes most of Qt and KDE symbols but fails on many  internal symbols. See this example
 
--------------------------- kdenlive.h
..
namespace Gui {
    ...
    class KdenliveApp:public KDockMainWindow {
      Q_OBJECT public:

      KdenliveApp(bool newDoc, QWidget * parent = 0, const char *name = 0);
    ...
}

--------------------------- kdenlive.cpp
#include "kdenlive.h"
...
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
...
Gui::KdenliveApp * kdenlive = new Gui::KdenliveApp(args->count());
...
}


Gui::KdenliveApp “Open Declaration” function gives a long list of forward references but not relevant declaration (resp. definition) in kdenlive.h.
“Declarations function” – the same problem, long list of various places forward referencing Gui::KdenliveApp, but not kdenlive.h.
References function works as expected.
There is no Code Assist for “kdenlive” instance.
Gui::KdenliveApp is recognized as a type but somehow an empty type, no methods, no fields.

CDT does not seems to distinguish much declaration from definition like in JDT, or am I missing something?

Gui::KdenliveApp is main structure around the whole application is build so Content Assist functionality is sadly missed and renders CDT in that sense unusable.

As for the KDE libs. KApplicaion is not recognized as a type, but KCmdLineArgs is. Both from KDE libs. Generally, most of the KDE symbols are well recognized and Content Assist is provided.

Kdenlive is a KDE and GNU Autotools driven application. It should not matter so much. It compiles and run well for me. I didn't install any autotools plugin. Or should I? I just created classic C++ Eclipse project and attached a directory with existing sources to it and compiled Kdenlive outside using command line tools.

BTW, do I need to compile sources to Content Assist start to work or running only ./configure is required?
