Hi,
I had created CCS project and standard C/C++ project in CCSv10, the view in project explorer UI only let CCS project name string font to
be bold with active build configuration name, even standard C/C++ project is selected the UI behavior is the same, could TI add this UI enhancement
for standard C/C++ project ?
There are two concepts here. Active Project and Active Configuration. All Eclipse projects can have an Active Configuration. The Active Project concept is something that we added to improve usability. It is connected to the "Debug Active Project" action as well.
When you see [Active - Debug] beside a CCS project is is indicating that this project is the Active Project and that the build configuration being used is Debug.
The Active project concept is only applicable to CCS Projects as they are the only ones with a direct connection to our debugger. We display that information when a project is active, since a C project is never the active one it never has the information displayed.
For us to show the active build configuration for a C project that would likely mean showing it for all open projects. That would be pretty messy. It could also be confusing as it would not necessarily match any project dependencies.
For example
Project A Flash depends on Project B Release
Project A has Flash config active
Project B has Debug release active.
When you select to build A it will build B's release configuration. A use may be confused by this as Debug was active for that project.
I did some searching around and CDT has an optional feature called "LaunchBar". This looks like it adds some controls to the main toolbar that show the select project and its active configuration. I tried installing it but my network blocks http. If that is not the case for you it is possible to give it a try to see if it helps.
Go to the help menu and select Install New Software. Then check the update site below http://download.eclipse.org/tools/cdt/releases/9.10

John
