Macros for Qt Creator code model

[paulf]

Is there a way to pass macros to the code model? We use a compiler command line macro to control inlining. Clang code model isn't seeing it, and it's polluting my 'issues' pane. I have the macro in both project.cflags and project.config.

Just to be clear: You are using a generic project (https://doc.qt.io/qtcreator/creator-project-generic.html), not a CMake project for Creator (why?).

What happens if you change the config to #define INLINE_FUNCTION (i.e. empty)?

@paulf,

project.config is the right place. How do you define it?

Our CMake files contain something like

set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS_DEBUG}  --D INLINE_FUNCTION=''")
set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE "${CMAKE_C_FLAGS_RELEASE}  --D INLINE_FUNCTION='__attribute__((always_inline))'")

So for my debug project I have, in project.config,

#define  INLINE_FUNCTION ''

In our code we have in our headers things like

static inline foo(void) INLINE_FUNCTION;

static inline foo(void)
{
    /* definition of foo */
}

The code model complains that

foo.h:123 error: expected function body after function declarator

So I presume that the macro substitution is not being performed.

For the moment I'm using a generic project. Just leaving the define blank seems to work. It's a bit confusing that it doesn't work in the same was as the compiler (where define is implicitly 1).

I'll give CMake a go as well, it'll be interesting to see if that will cope with our CMake files.

Oh well, "Open cmake project" worked about as well as I expected. Creator just terminated. That's more a reflection of our heathrobinson Cmake files.
