Unsolved How to "follow symbol" into c file
-
Hi,
i am working on a legacy project on a legacy platform. All the definitions are in C files. The "follow symbol" option does not work.I tried with eclipse and it is able to follow the symbols in the project.
How to make this work in QT Creator as well?
Linux Mint, QT Creator 3.2.2
Thanks!

Hi! Update to the latest version of Qt Creator and try again.

Hi,
where can i download the latest QT Creator for 32-bit Linux Mint?Ok, tried with 4.2.1. in Windows, the issue still exists. I imported a c project an i use QT Creator just for editing. I can see that it populated the .includes fiels with all the correct directories but F2 still does not work.

Hi,
There's no pre-built 32bit Linux package for Qt Creator. You'd have to build it by hand if Mint doesn't propose a more recent version.

Hi,
i am now using Qt Creator 4.2.1. The issue still persists. I checked that all the folders that contain c files have been added to the .includes file.Is there anything else i can do to resolve this issue? Is Qt able to handle symbol resolving if header files are not included at the top of c files?
P.S. i cannot change the way it is made, it is a legacy platform which works by including c files. The additional c files themselves don't include anything.

Then that's likely a use case not supported by Qt Creator's code model.
You should bring this to the Qt Creator mailing list. You'll find there Qt Creator's developers/maintainers. This forum is more user oriented.
