#412 SVEditor does not support multiple argument files

[Tomer]

Hi,

Not sure if this is a bug or not, but I am trying to use multiple argument files, and seems that this issue is not supported or not working.

Thanks,
Tomer

I have this working on my end (1.8.3). In my project only have 2 files.f's... not sure if >2 work.

What symptoms are you seeing?

OK, maybe my first message was too general and too aggressive.
I used multiple argument files at the following way:
1 file for +define and other compiler directives (-mfcu…)
1 file for +incdir+ directives
1 file for parsing file-list

For some reason, this didn’t count the incdirs properly.
Fixed by creating a single file:
-f file1.f
-f file2.f
-f file3.f

Which worked..

Thanks,
Tomer

Hi Tomer,
SVEditor treats each top-level argument file as independent, from a parsing perspective. So, in your example, SVEditor will not consider the defines or include paths specified by file1.f and file2.f when parsing the files from file3.f
SVEditor does look at all content contributed by all top-level argument files when doing content assist or navigation.
Your approach of composing a top-level argument file with multiple -f lines is correct.

I'm going to close this issue, since it appears SVEditor is working as designed.

Best Regards,
Matthew
