[CCS5.1] Project builds successfully but errors are reported in Problems window

Hi David,

There is a known issue, 43492, which describes a similar issue where errors in the problems view from a previous build are not cleared when rebuilding (and the build is successful). The issue was specific to the  'Project->Build Automatically' option being enabled. Do you have this option enabled?

Thanks

Hi ki

No, 'Project->Build Automatically' is not enabled.  What is the workaround for 43492 to clear the errors?

I eventually cleared this problem by creating and using a new workspace.

I have too many projects and didn't feel like re-creating my workspace...

This seemed to work for me:

• Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Code Analysis
• Selected all "Syntax and Semantic Errors"
• Customize Selected
• Unchecked "Run on demand"
• Checked "Run on full build" and "Run on incremental build" to be safe...?

After a rebuild with no Problems, "Run on demand" could be re-enabled without the annoying Errors?  It might be "safer" to try with Project settings instead of Workspace..

Hi guys,

This issue is causing quite a bit of grief for me.  Every time I build if I want the 'problems window' to reflect the latest build results I have to do a complete Clean and Rebuild of the project.  I've tried creating a new workspace and the other preferences change with no luck.

Is there any fix from TI?  I am thinking about going back to v5 from v5.1 to avoid this issue.

Thanks

Hi all,

For me, this problem seemed to be related to having multiple build configurations set up for the project (i.e. can be seen if you right-click on the project and select Build Configurations -> Set Active).

I had errors in the Problems window which kept coming back, even though the code does actually build successfully (which could be seen because "**** Build Finished ****" appeared in the Console window). Typical behaviour was as follows:

• Do a build, which causes the misleading errors to be displayed in the Problems window. IMPORTANT - these errors will only appear if certain source files are open. Make note of one of the source files which displays the misleading errors
• Close all source windows
• Do a clean and build - a build is successfully performed, and no errors are displayed in the Problems window
• Now open the errant source file again - the errors magically re-appear

For me, the misleading errors seem to be ones which are left over from a build from one of the other configurations. To get rid of them, I did the following:

• Switched the project to the build configuration which had the (real) build errors (using [right-click on project] -> Build Configurations -> Set Active)
• Performed a clean to remove the errors
• Now, after switching back to the original build configuration, the misleading errors no longer appear

Hope this helps.

Best wishes,

Bart

I think that this problem persists in CCS 5.2.  Is a fix coming?

Looks like this problem is fixed in CCS5.3.0. The release notes mention the following bug fix:

I would just  like to inform TI that this problem is still occuring in CCS 5.3.0.
