C++ Exceptions - Ignore for .c files?

Itay Chamiel

Hi,

In a large project, it is common that .c files are used alongside .cpp files. When enabling C++ exceptions in the project settings, the setting is applied to all compiled files, thus causing the compiler to halt on every .c file with the error:

Command-line error #593: exception handling option can be used only when compiling C++

This forces me to have to manually go over each .c file and remove the checkbox that enables the --exceptions option in the project properties, a very tedious process. Would it be possible for the build system to automatically prevent this option from affecting .c files?

Thanks,

Itay,

I could certainly file a enhancement request for the build system to automatically not apply this option to .c files, however I cannot guarantee if/when it will be implemented. Unfortunately, I agree it is quite tedious today to set the file specific option for every C file. We do have a request in the system to allow selection of multiple files and then setting file specific options on all the selected files. This would make this task easier, however that functionality may come in the future, but does not exist today.

The system is already smart enough to not apply the option to automatically generated .c files (e.g. projname_pe66.c), I think it would make sense to not apply to all of them. Alternatively the compiler could be changed to ignore the option, perhaps emitting a remark, for .c files.

I filed enhancement request SDSCM00043582 against CCS to automatically ignore that option for .c files.
