CODECOMPOSER: Couldn't find "Open Definition"

Hi,

I was using CCS v11.2 and imported some example projects to try out. One thing I noticed that there is only "Open Declaration - F3" but no "Open Definition" when I right-clicked on the function name. How could I have "Open Definition" back so that I could jump to the source file instead of header file? I tried to rebuild project and index but it didn't work.

Thanks,

Wenkai

Hello,

This has been typically the case. There was only an "Open Declaration" option. This option would typically toggle between the source of the function and then the declaration in the header. The path of the source would need to be known to the project. Is the source file in question explicitly part of the project or part of some library?

Thanks

The source file in question is not explicitly part of the project, only corresponding header file is referred by # include directive.

If the source part of a library that is included at link time?

I double-checked the project files - the source files seems can be found under the "Includes" within the project. See attached screenshot: for example, bootloader_uniflash.c

That is an include path. But how is that source being linked to the project? When you build, that file compiled and and object file generated? Or is it part of a library that is getting linked in?
