Title: Open include?
Post by: CLR on January 15, 2012, 08:59:03 PM

There was an addin that opens the selected include file. I can't find it anywhere.

OR... you can right click on the include file you want and select it from the menu... No AddIn required.

(Over time a number of things that were originally addins have become part of the IDE)

Not in cpp projects.

Not in cpp projects.

That's true.  POIDE was written specifically for Pelles compiler... It's not a general purpose IDE at all.

There are a number of limitations to doing CPP on an IDE designed for a specific C99 compiler.  Some we can compensate for, others we cannot.  IDE specific functions such as Code completion, call tips, dependencies, etc. do not work in cpp projects.  I wasn't even able to get it to add #includes to the project tree... but that's because we're leveraging a behaviour the IDE was never intended to produce. So it should not be unexpected.

My goal was to let you build some libraries and DLLs that use C++ internally as part of your C-99 projects.  I certainly would not tackle a large multi-file C++ project in this setup.  If you are doing a lot of C++ you would be further ahead to get Code::Blocks (http://www.codeblocks.org/) or Visual Studio (http://www.microsoft.com/visualstudio/en-us/products/2010-editions/visual-cpp-express)... for resources you can use ResEdit (http://www.resedit.net/) or one of it's clones.
