Eclipse code jump to esp-idf function definitions?

[mhexrobot]

Hello

I have followed instructions (esp-idf.readthedocs.io/en/latest/get-started/eclipse-setup.html) to get Eclipse to import Makefile projects and I have had no problems building or flashing.

It is a feature of most modern IDEs to be able to jump to, or otherwise locate the definitions of functions from their calling point. For example I know that vTaskDelay(xx) that is called in the hello_world example is defined in /esp-idf/components/freertos/tasks.c, but how can I get Eclipse to figure this out?

Details:
Ubuntu via VirtualBox on Windows 10
ESP-IDF latest version (as of 23 May 2017 - not sure how to check exact version)
Eclipse 3.8.1/Luna

Thank you

Ok after a bit of fiddling around I have found a solution that sort-of works:

• Right click project, select "Properties"
• Go to "C/C++ General" > "Paths and Symbols"
• Select "Source location" tab
• Click "Link Folder"
• Select your /esp-idf/components/ folder
• Select yes to rebuild index or right click project and select "Index" > "Rebuild"

Now I can CTRL+click or press F2 to jump to a function definition. But now it wont jump between declaration and definition like it does for source/header files in the project folder. I have not yet found a way to fix this...

Hi,

Do you happen to have a solution for the most recent eclipse + idf combination too? The "Paths and Symbols" option is not present anymore in the project properties...
