Hello,
There are multiple indexer issues with varying root causes. The issue described in the referenced link is specific to Eclipse CDT projects using GCC and that issue seems to have appeared in 8.3 and greater (worked in 8.2).

Thanks

does that mean that CCS8.2 could have other indexer problems?

yes. Such as the issue mentioned in the thread below (which was fixed in CCSv8.3):

Hello Ki-Soo,
I had a meeting with the customer today and following questions came up:
- compilation was ok and the .out file was generated. Then customer open a .c file an then the error came up.
- How is this possible? Is the .out file ok?
- Is the indexer and the compiler independent?
- Is the indexer developed by TI or is it from Eclipse?
- Is the indexer fixed in CCSv9?
- Is the fix from TI?
- Some other projects doesn't show this error? Why?

Regards, Holger

The errors are from the Eclipse CDT's static CODe ANalysis tool (CODAN):

Yes

It is from Eclipse:

https://help.eclipse.org/mars/index.jsp?topic=%2Forg.eclipse.cdt.doc.user%2Fconcepts%2Fcdt_c_indexer.htm

Though some work from TI was done to have it work properly with the CCS environment.

Hence, fixes can come from both Eclipse and TI.

HS WG-FAE said:

Some things are. But as mentioned before, there are multiple indexer issues (some which need to be fixed by Eclipse) and several are still open issues.

HS WG-FAE said:

As mentioned in above comments, the answer varies depending on the specific issue.

Other projects may not have any CODAN errors or have CODAN disabled.

Thanks
