Atollic bugs: Convert to C++ (add C++ nature) fails to add C++ language to #Symbols tab

[Dave Nadler]

Atollic TrueSTUDIO® for STM32, Built on Eclipse Neon.1a.

Version: 9.1.0

Build id: 20181011-1241

Added C++ nature to a working C project.

Serious Bug 1: In Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols:

The Includes tab has added GNU C++ in the Languages column as it should.

Bug: In the # Symbols tab, GNU C++ is not added in the Languages column.

The additional language should be added, and initial values copied from the C language.

Extremely Annoying Bug 2: In Properties -> C/C++ General -> Paths and Symbols:

The Includes tab has added GNU C++ in the Languages column as it should.

Unfortunately, it is blank, where it should be initialized to a copy of the C language settings.

User has to copy and paste the entire list! Please fix initialization...

How do I work around bug 1?

Thanks!

Hey Dave,

We have not had full resources working on TrueSTUDIO so we had to prioritize the most blocking bugs and this ticket has not been on top of the priority list.

The reason for the limitation in resources (which I can finally mention due to it being Embedded Worlds first day) is that we're working on a new tool, STM32CubeIDE, and most of our resources are going to that project.

I had the same problem. After installing new version CubeMX conversation works.

@POsyp​ - what version of Atollic and version of CubeMX???

On 4-March I received the following email from ST:

"As I mentioned previously, the Atollic group is aware of the problem, unfortunately, there is no timeline for when it will be addressed at this time. If this is a blocking point for you, I would suggest to consider using a different IDE from a 3rd party (IAR, Keil, etc). Keep in mind that we provide free tools as a courtesy but the customer is not forced to use these, and at times, we refer them to 3rd party partners when more capability than is currently offered, free of charge, is required. "

Lots of excuses, no fix coming on 5 months ;-(

Thanks,

Best Regards, Dave
