Ah, I’ve learned something new.

(1) In the “IntelliSense Directories” tab, I cannot just add a top-level directory and expect the system to traverse recursively … I will need to add each folder explicitly.  For

example:

<toolchain_root_folder>/usr/src/kernel/include
<toolchain_root_folder>/usr/src/kernel/include/linux

By manually adding these folders one-by-one, I am able to make the system find things like size_t, time_t, etc.

(2) The order in which I place these folders do matter.  For example, toolchain folders should be on top, while project folders should be below.

—————————–

Question:  Is there an easier way where I can just put define <toolchain_root_folder> and let change search recursively?

Thanks for the screenshot and letting me know it’s automated behavior.  It is working now.

While a bit off topic, I still have issues setting up Clang IntelliSense:

(1) From the posts in the forum, I understood that we have to put in the correct flags (-D<xxx>) for the parsing to work.  I might have to read up on Clang since I am using GCC… it’s a vague question, but any examples or tutorials for non-Clang users to reap the benefits for Clang IntelliSense will be appreciated.

(2) I am getting simple IntelliSense errors like “vector is not part of the std namespace”.  Ok, I understand that the library files are in the VM and not in Visual Studio/PC, so I need to let VisualGDB know about the paths.  So, under the “IntelliSense Directories” tab in the Settings, I clicked “Add Remote” and added all the paths in the remote VM, which includes my project’s source headers, the compiler headers (/usr/include/, /usr/lib/gcc), and the paths to my ARM toolchain.  I can see that IntelliSense errors related to missing functions from my project is now resolved, but I still face issues with the standard libraries (such as the vector example) and things like “unable to find size_t”.  What else do I need to do?

Hi,

Is this answer still valid now in 2017?  In the “About” dialog, I see that there is a “Revert to trial button”.  I wonder if that can be used to switch between 2 machines like Photoshop?

Thanks.
