Build Identifier: 20110615-0604 Hi, I have the following file structure: 1) workspace location: /home/yevgenys/eclipse_workspaces/cdt8.0.0/temp2 2) directory location which I want to add as an include path: /home/yevgenys/eclipse_workspaces/cdt8.0.0/dummy_include_path I don't want to use absolute path. I defined it: ${workspace_loc}/../dummy_include_path After pressing ok, it was change to //../dummy_include_path and became "workspace path". Am I missing something? Thanks, Yevgeny Reproducible: Always
Where do you define that, in Paths&Symbols? Path starting with ${workspace_loc} may be treated as workspace path, better use ${WorkspaceDirPath}.
Hi, Thank you for your response. Using "WorkspaceDirPath" seems to work :) It seems very confusing the difference between "workspace_loc" and "WorkspaceDirPath" variables. "workspace_loc" description: Returns the absolute file system path of the workspace root. When an argument is specified, the absolute file system path of the resource identified by a workspace relative path is returned. "WorkspaceDirPath" description: <not available> I think description should be updated, because this is really confusing. I do not understand the "argument" part in "workspace_loc" description. Because using "WorkspaceDirPath" is working, lowing priority to normal. Thanks, Yevgeny
The difference is that ${WorkspaceDirPath} is MBS variable but ${workspace_loc} is defined by eclipse platform. Here is how argument is supposed to be used - ${workspace_loc:/project/path-in-the-project}. Note that this expression handles properly linked files and folders as well. But ${workspace_loc}/../dummy_include_path should also work which makes this report a bug.
Hi guys, Is this bug specific for CDT? Maybe its component should be platform? Thanks, Yevgeny
${workspace_loc} is variable provided by Platform. I suggest to open a separate bug for it (to clarify description including arguments usage.) ${WorkspaceDirPath} is CDT variable and is not documented, as well as other MBS variables. We can use this bug for that.
Hi, I opened https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=370956 on platform component for "workspace_loc" problem. Thanks, Yevgeny
