The 'tasks' window remains empty for C/C++ projects under OS X. Steps to reproduce: 1. Create new C++ project 2. In main function, insert a deliberate error line with a FIXME or TODO comment, eg: unknown_function(); // TODO test 3. Attempt to build 4. Open task window, ensure that no filters are active and that the project scope includes the newly created project 5. Note that neither the compiler error nor the 'TODO' comment is listed in the 'tasks' window Have tested on the following systems/configurations: - OS X 10.6.4, clean install (C++ version only) - OS X 10.6.3, clean install (full version) - OS X 10.6.3, upgrade install from 6.1 (full version)
ToDo scanner is switched off by default
(In reply to comment #1) > ToDo scanner is switched off by default The strange thing is that when I do a fresh install of 6.9 on Linux ToDo scanning on C/C++ works out of the box, so it appears the behavior is different between the two versions. Is there a UI hook to enable it?
https://netbeans.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=184292 btw, you can turn tasks support as: - Tools->Options->C/C++->Project Options and check -- "Support indexing of not C/C++/Fortran files (slow down parsing)" - OK to close options dialog - then Window->Tasks to open tasks component
