Description Vladimir Kvashin 2007-10-16 23:06:32 UTC 
Now, when there is an "orphan" header in project - i.e. header that is not included in any source file - such header is
nevertheless parsed. And that's right thing to do: if, for example, I create a design of my project classes, I first
write  a lot of headers without any sources - and still want to use code assistance features. Another example is writing
template library (which, except for testing code, often does not contain source files).

When parsing such orphan headers, project and folder options (include paths and macros) aren't taken into account.

As soon as a header is included in some source file, project/folder options are taken into account when parsing header.

The point is rather arguable - since generally that's *source* files that -I  and -D are applicable to... 
But I believe the current situation is inconvenient for user.
Comment 1 Alexander Simon 2007-10-23 08:27:57 UTC 
At least orphan header should have source's roots as user include paths.
More clever algorithm can detect user include paths by sources in the same folder.
Next suggestion is: try to detect union of sources user include paths if project level does not have user paths.
Comment 2 Vladimir Kvashin 2008-09-16 23:33:30 UTC 
Project-level -I and -D options are now taken into account when parsing orphans.
Folder-level options are not.
