PellesC 4.0 Goto definition bug

[RJP Computing]

I just installed PellesC 4.0 beta 2 and now I can't seem to get the "right-click->Goto the definition: ...." to work for defines, typedef, or structs. I found this very useful and I hope I just have to change a setting.

If it is a system/Windows definition - just build a project (any project). The database (sysdefs.tag) will be rebuilt at the end of the first build. It will only happen once - I delete this file during setup, so that it will be rebuilt with any new definitions a new setup may contain...

Well you were sortof right. It was recreated but only when I deleted the one that was left behind. It was 0 bytes. Very strange it wouldn't recreate it until I deleted it.

Had that problem with 3.0 ...  What I did was to unclick the "browse information" checkbox in the options tab, exit the IDE, reload and on the next build it recreated the file.

I wanted a quick and simple test, so I only check if the file is present.

It seems that SQLite tries to be "helpful" and create a new, empty, database if it's missing (zero bytes long). It must have been like this "forever"...

Could you not add a quick startup check for a 0 length file and use that to trigger your re-build?

This will not help - I don't want to start a new build for this, I just want to "attach" to the first build made after a Setup. If the user choose "Go to definition of:" without doing a build first, an empty database will be created. I have solved this by checking if the database exists, before trying to open the database (simpler than messing with the SQLite source code).
