[solved] Creator doesn't underline semantic errors

[Andreas J]

I'm not getting "Semantic errors and warnings are underlined in olive" in the editor.

In the following I'd expect InexistentType and inexistentMethod to render with olive-colored underline:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    InexistentType bla;
    bla.inexistentMethod();
    return 0;
}

Instead both words render in black with no underline. Unused variables argc and argv are correctly underlined. If I add code to define the type and the method, InexistentType turns purple while inexistentMethod remains black.

Is this the expected behavior of Qt Creator (3.0.1, 64-bit, gcc 4.8.3, centos 7) ?

Or could I be missing some setting or package?

Looking at http://doc.qt.digia.com/qtcreator-2.4/creator-checking-code-syntax.html I can see this used to work (in version 2.4).

Hi and welcome to devnet,

Looks strange indeed, can you test with the latest version of Qt Creator (currently 3.4) ?

@SGaist @Andreas-J
here is a link to the latest documentation

It does not work in my version either Qt creator 3.1.2 on Win7 64 bit.
Actually I cannot recall to have seen such a syntax high-lighting working.

Thanks. My colleague just tried on 3.4 and it's the same (i.e. no underline on undefined types or methods).

However, he managed to get it working with the Clang code model:

• Help -> About Plugins... -> C++ -> enable ClangCodeModel
• Tools -> Options... -> C++ -> Code Model -> C++ -> select Clang

He then gets red underline on undefined symbols.

I guess I'll just have to upgrade then.
