Turn off eclipse errors (that aren’t really errors) [duplicate]

by

UPDATE: It’s been a long time since I posted the original answer and it has become outdated. I double-checked today (Mar 15, 2014): in Eclipse Kepler (Build id 20130614-0229) it is sufficient to

  • add under Project > Properties > C/C++ Build > Settings then on the Tool Settings tab GCC C++ Compiler > Miscellaneous the -std=c++11 flag,

  • then under Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Build > Settings on the Discovery tab chose CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings and add the -std=c++11 flag to Command to get compiler specs. On my machine it looks like this after the change:

    ${COMMAND} -E -P -v -dD -std=c++11 "${INPUTS}"

  • clean and rebuild both your project and your index (Project > C/C++ Index > Rebuild) as Eclipse tends to cache error messages and show them even though they are gone after changing the settings.

This works on my machine for sure. If it doesn’t on yours, then you might want to give a shot to this: C++11 full support on Eclipse although I am neither sure about the correctness of this approach nor was it necessary to do it on my machine. As of March 7, 2014 users claim that it helped them whereas the above approach didn’t.

The original post, now outdated:

These bogus errors come from Codan. The whole thing is because Codan and the compiler have different understanding of C++ and Codan is buggy.

Possible workarounds

  1. Click on the project properties, then C/C++ General > Code Analysis > Syntax and Semantic Errors and deselect whatever false errors you are getting. Drawback: you will most likely end up disabling most of the errors and warning one by one, which is quite annoying.

  2. Disable the static analysis completely at C/C++ General > Code Analysis > Syntax and Semantic Errors. You won’t get the true errors from Codan but only later from the compiler.

None of them is a solution but at least you can still use the Eclipse IDE.
