Dear,

I am using the Espressif IDE. I have installed the latest version and made a test building and running the hello_world example in the ESP-IDF collection.

It starts out with several cases of not having resolved symbols defined in #include files. After running the "build" command, three not resolved symbols remain. They are flagged as errors when running the run command.

I guess this is an error in the IDE.

Do you plan to update the Espressif IDE and remove this error?

I appreciate your efforts to have an Espressif IDE such that the installation and configuration is simple.

Regards,
Jorgen

Hello,

Thanks for reporting the issue.

If you're working with IDF 5.0 and higher with the Espressif-IDE/IEP Eclipse plugin, you might experience indexer problems based on the project, this is due to IDF 5.0 having certain components which are using the latest C/C++ 20 language features that are not yet supported by Eclipse CDT Indexer. Basically, the CDT parser doesn't know about these new language grammar.

However, you shouldn't have any problems during the build. It should go through fine as it relies on CMake.

As I have seen most of the issues related to symbols not being found, I would suggest disabling this check in the Eclipse Preferences.

Code: Select all

Preferences > C/C++ > Code Analysis > Symbol is not resolved (Change the Severity from Error to Warning)

In the future, when we have IDE support for C/C++ 20 lang features, we can change it back to Error.

Thanks

Thank you for the reply.

In the meantime I have upgraded to Espressif IDE version 2.9.1, which has solved the problem.

Will a future version of the Espressif IDE have intellisense?

Jorgen
