Moving to 2.9.0 from 2.7.0

[Marbro1965]

In 2.7.0 in file c_cpp_properties.json I had direct path to compiler. Now moving I need to change the path.

AI suggested to use ${nrf-connect.toolchain} for compiler and ${nrf-connect.sdk} for sdk.

Unlike launch.json where it works, in c_cpp_properties.json there is no way to let accect and resolve this

path.

Please do you have any suggestion?

Hi, 

Could you proivde a bit background knowledge about your setup? Like the following:

Is c_cpp_properties.json made by your own or located in NCS?

How c_cpp_properties.json is used by the compiler?

Best regards

Hello Charlie, my project starts from a Nordik sample.

It is located in C:\ncs, where by default the create new application suggests to put.

I am working in C++. When edit the program I had a lot of squiggles and AI suggested

to modify the c_cpp_properties.json. And indeed it works. I add the direct path.

Now I have moved to 2.9.0, and direct path of compiler and sdk is obviously changed,

so I decided to put a relative path.

I modify the settings.json and add

"nrf-connect.topdir": "c:/ncs"

"nrf-connect.toolchain": "c:/ncs/toolchains/b620d30767"

"nrf-connect.sdk": "c:/ncs/v2.9.0"

and then I modified the c_cpp_properties.json for example

"compilerPath": "${config:nrf-connect.toolchain}/opt/zephyr-sdk/arm-zephyr-eabi/bin/arm-zephyr-eabi-gcc.exe",

or 

"includePath": [

"${workspaceFolder}/**",

"${config:nrf-connect.sdk}/zephyr/include",

"${config:nrf-connect.sdk}/zephyr/include/zephyr",

"${config:nrf-connect.sdk}/nrfxlib"

}

Does not work. No reload window, no clear build, no delete build directory

On one PC seems to work but squiggles the instruction strlen or strcmp.

On another it does not work at all. Intellisense got crazy. And if i point on uint32_t it jumps me 

to strange declaration!

I could jump back to absolute path. But this behaviour strongly confuse me.

Does it work still with the new direct path?

[Marbro1965]

It works only with absolute path (2.0.9 ), but not for all the instruction. It compiles but intellisense does not work well.

I go back to 2.7.0

There everything OK.

[Marbro1965]

It looks like that including this

#include <tfm/tfm_ioctl_api.h> in a file causes intellisense not to recognize uint32_t anymore.

I am programming in C++
