CCS: CCS 8.3 indexer / code highlighting shows __cplusplus defined in C only project

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Since updating to CCS 8.3 the code highlighting shows as if __cplusplus is defined in our C only projects. This also causes problems with some C/C++ searches, call hierarchy etc. as it appears as if some type definitions are missing. During the build __cplusplus is not defined and the project builds without any problems.

  • As a first step of troubleshooting, please take a look at this indexer section of the Project and Build guide. It describes some situations where odd behaviors may occur, such as errors reported in the editor margin even when there are no project build errors.  

    If that does not help explain/address the issue, please provide screenshots, more details and/or a simple test project that demonstrates the issue. Thanks.

  • Since I haven’t heard back from you, I’m assuming you were able to move past this issue. If not, please feel free to post a reply with an update and requested details so we can get a better understanding of the issue. Thanks!
  • This issue has not been resolved in our projects. I attempted to reproduce the problem in a simple example but was not successful. We do not have the same problem in CCS 8.2, what changed relating to this feature in 8.3?
  • I don't believe anything changed specifically relating to this feature between 8.2 and 8.3, and we did not pick up a new version of Eclipse either. 

    Have you tried importing your projects into a new workspace to check if the issue occurs in a clean workspace as well?

  • Unfortunately, with the information provided, we have not been able to isolate the source of this issue and would require a reproducible test case to investigate it further. If you are willing to share your project but do not wish to post it here in the public forum, you can do so via private message.
