Created attachment 182062 [details] Eclipse lies, : ) Windos Xp Eclipse Galileo, CDT 6.0, also Eclipse Galileo, CDT 7.0, also Eclipse Helios, CDT 7.0, also Eclipse Helios, CDT 8.0 We have C-Proj with some C source files and some H header files. I was wondering, sometimes i can switch between "Function Definition" and "Function Declaration" through F3, but sometimes times not - i can only jump to "Function Declaration" which is stored in header files - i can't see the "Function Definition" in the C files. I can finally find out, the source files with *.C ending was treated as Cpp files (in which the F3 works) and the source files with *.c ending was treated as C files (in which the F3 DONT work). So i try to tell Eclipse, treat *.c also as Cpp files, but i can't. As you can see in the picture in the attachment, as i try to add *.c file type C++, eclipse tell me *.c is C++ files - IT LIES. :) I'm not sure, if we chang the C to c, will the bug be resolved? Thanks Mike
If you use the extension '.C' for c-files you need to reassign the extension to the 'C Source File' content type on project level. (Project Properties - C/C++ General - File Types). You should not do the reverse, i.e. assign '.c' to c++. You cannot do this on workspace level, because the content-type is built-in. This is a limitation of the platform. Also the platform (responsible for the workspace-level content-types) treats file extensions case insensitive. This causes the strange error message. There is a separate bug on this limitation.
Hi, Markus, thanks a lot. It works... Mike
