I'm browsins git code with Eclipse. I'm on a local branch called "studio" based on master (last public commit e902e9b by Junio C Hamano on Monday March 11 2019). I've built everything by changing: CFLAGS = -g -Wall (removing -O2 to have smooth trace in debugging). But the environment detects the following semantic errors (I made no edits!!!): Description Resource Path Location Type Symbol 'GIT_HTML_PATH' could not be resolved git.c /git line 154 Semantic Error Symbol 'GIT_MAN_PATH' could not be resolved git.c /git line 158 Semantic Error Symbol 'GIT_INFO_PATH' could not be resolved git.c /git line 162 Semantic Error Symbol 'active_cache' could not be resolved commit.c /git /builtin line 899 Semantic Error Field 'ce_intent_to_add(active_cache[i])' could not be resolved commit.c /git/builtin line 899 Semantic Error Symbol 'active_nr' could not be resolved commit.c /git/bu iltin line 889 Semantic Error Symbol 'active_nr' could not be resolved commit.c /git/bu iltin line 898 Semantic Error Field 'oid' could not be resolved commit.c /git/builtin line 1654 Semantic Error Symbol 'active_nr' could not be resolved commit.c /git/bu iltin line 901 Semantic Error Symbol 'active_cache_tree' could not be resolved commit.c /git/builtin line 1654 Semantic Error Symbol 'active_cache_changed' could not be resolved commit.c /git/builtin line 418 Semantic Error Symbol 'active_cache_tree' could not be resolved commit.c /git/builtin line 419 Semantic Error Symbol 'active_nr' could not be resolved commit.c /git/bu iltin line 254 Semantic Error Symbol 'active_cache' could not be resolved commit.c /git /builtin line 255 Semantic Error I can debug without problems, but what if I should trece through one of those errors? How can I fix them?
This situation occurs in many projects in ECLIPSE, not only git. The errors are likely coming from one of the error parsers that you have enabled in your workspace. Look in the Project Properties or Workspace Preferences under C/C++ Build/Settings in the Error Parsers tab for your build configuration. You may have to turn off some of those. There is also the C/C++ General/Code Analysis Preferences setting where you might have to turn off the problematic errors. I have found that this is a common situation for code that is imported into ECLIPSE from other platforms, where the GNU error and analysis tools are overly aggressive by default. Good luck.
