C/C++ Search ignores characters

Martin H.
Expert 2315 points

Hi,

I am using CCSv6 and noticed that certain characters are ignored when searching with "C/C++ Search".

For instance if I copy or type int MMUInit(SYS_MMU_ENTRY mmuEntries[])  the search string mutates into intMMUInitSYS_MMU_ENTRYmmuEntries.

I.e. it is not possible to use search strings that contain characters like (, ), [, ]; space and $.

Is there something I can do about it? Modify any settings for instance?

Thank you.

    Yes, this really happens (I don't know the reason behind this). Use 'File Search' instead, it's able to search with spaces and other symbols.

    I can't find any documentation for this - but believe it is a limitation due to the C/C++ search in Eclipse being designed to only search for valid C/C++ identifier names.

    [A stock Eclipse 3.6.1 has slightly different behaviour from CCSv6 in that Eclipse 3.6.1 allows any characters to be pasted into the C/C++ search "search string" but only allows characters which are valid for C/C++ identifier names to typed into the search string text box in the C/C++ search dialog]

    If you want to search for arbitrary character strings, use the File Search.

    So we have to come to terms with that until TI has found a way to modify that, I'm afraid.

    Thank you.
