Hello Segger Team,

just like to let you know. In the Embedded Studio editor, the small arrows next to the scrollbar are missing in dark mode:

You seem also to have problems with Unicode Character or at least with German Umlaute in the terminal emulator properties.

I think the arrow in the selection box is also missing.

Hello Nino,

thanks for the feedback and good to hear that you can reproduce the behavior.

I did a rectangle selection; this is quite common in several code-editors. Pres [alt] + [left mouse key] and move the mouse to do the selection.

Regards

Hello Nino,

was the video helpful for reproduction or do you need more information?

regards

Hello Nino,

I have created a small video. Unfortunately I had to keep it short to meet the file limit of one megabyte. I hope it will be clear anyway. I just pressed the 'a' key after the rectangle-selection.

Hello Segger Team,

Code-Folding is not working together with rectangle-selection. It is doing strange things.

For reproduction:

• open a big source-code file
• fold a code section
• make a rectangle selection below the folded code section
• start typing

Tested with Embedded Studio 7.30

One more thing. Embedded Studio can analyte source-code files with Clang-Tidy by right-clicking on the code-file and selecting “Analyze”. Clang-Tidy does support checking of header-files, but the command-entry is missing in the context-menu when right-clicking on a header-file. Could you add the Clang-Tidy support for header files?

Hello Nino,

I used Embedded Studio for ARM in version 7.20. I checked also with 7.22 and see exact the same issues.

Hello Segger Team,

regarding the syntax highlighting of functions. The macros

#if __has_include ("file.h”)
    #if defined (SOMETHING)

and the attributes

[[gnu::format(printf, 2, 3)]]

are also highlighted like a function call.

Regards

Hello Segger Team,

I found some issues in Embedded Studio.

• The initializer list from a constructor is highlighted like a function:
  
  helloCounter(0) is not a function call, but a member variable initialization. To reproduce this, you must set the syntax highlight for functions:
  Tools --> Options --> Color Schemes --> Function
  to something flashy.
• When searching in the *.emProject file from inside Embedded Studio “Find and Replace” window it is not possible to jump to the search results via Double-Click in the result -list.
• This is more of a fun issue, when copying a text to a setting window of Embedded Studio it keeps the formatting. I recognized this when copying some compiler options from a website. It was barely readable because the font had nearly the same color as the background of the window. You can reproduce it by copying text from microsoft-word like shown in the screenshot.
  By the way. Why is there so much space wasted in the lower third of the window.

Hello Nino,

thanks for the update.

Hello Nino,

I was wrong, the problem with the incomplete doxygen tag is still available. I had a typo in my testcode.

Regards

Hello Nino,

the problem with the incomplete doxygen tag seems to be fixed with Embedded Studio version 7.12a. I can't reproduce it anymore.
I had mentioned the problem with the doxygen syntax highlighting again since it was in the same area as the incomplete tags. Came up right away

If it's a limitation of the framework you're using, I guess there's not much you can do about it. ☹

I created a simple project for code outlining. Open the SayHello.h file and check the code outline. If you remove the namespace in line 9-12 the structure following the namespace will be displayed correctly again.

Regards

Hello Segger Team,

do you need any additional information to reproduce this?

Regards

Hello Segger team,

one more thing: Code Outline seem not to work correctly when namespaces are used in header files. Everything below and after the top namespace is ignored. Source files seem to be okay.

Regards

Hello Segger Team,

Embedded Studio does syntax highlighting in doxygen comments which is very helpful, but sadly not all variations are working:

Could you add the syntax-highlighting also for the other variants?

In addition, when a doxygen tag is incomplete, the end of the commend is not detected correctly for syntax highlight:

You can drag n’drop code files out of the Embedded Studio main Window, which creates a new window. This is a very helpful feature which allows to have multiple code files open in parallel, but the new window is not snappy. If this window is moved to the edges of the desktop it is not snapped. The Embedded Studio main-window can do this (and also basically all other windows applications). In addition, in dark-mode the title bar is not black for those windows, don’t know if this is intentional.

Regards

Hello Nino,

thanks for the feedback. Would be amazing to get this working.

As a little incentive: With other IDEs it is working with SonarQube

Regards

Hello Segger Team,

an automatic quality check during dev-ops processes is nowadays quite standard. Sadly, Embedded Studio does not work together with SonarQube which is one of the major tools for static code/program analysis.

SonarQube adds a build-wrapper to monitor the calls to the compiler and does an analysis based on this information over the code. GCC and CLANG is supported out of the box, but it does not work in Embedded Studio because it does not use the frontend but calls directly internal functionality. In case of the gcc, cc1plus is called and for CLANG (and the segger compiler which is based on CLANG) the option -cc1 is added.

Take a look at this ticket for mor information: https://jira.sonarsource.com/plugins/servle…#issue/CPP-2060

Do you see any possibility to alter the build steps to use the frontend of each compiler? Or could you contact SonarQube to help them to support Embedded Studio with non frontend calls?

I think this could be a big benefit for developers to be able to integrate Embedded Studio in the dev-ops process together with a static-code analysis.

Regards

Hey Nino,

thanks for confirmation.

Regards

Hello Nino,

thank you for the feedback.

I’ve attached my settings.xml, does this help for reproduction?
Basically, I’ve only switched to the dark-mode-theme.

Hello Nino,

memcpy_s is standardized with C11, same with strcpy_s. I think it would be helpful to have this functions supported by ES.

Hello,

I have some feedback for Embedded Studio:

• The syntax highlighting of the digit separated numbers looks wrong:
  
  Could you fix that?
  
• Embedded Studio does syntax highlighting in doxygen comments which is very helpful, but sadly not all variations are working:
  
  Why is only the second variant highlighted, could you add the syntax-highlighting also for the other variants?
  
• By the way, could you add syntax highlighting for the types from stdint.h? Having them highlighted like native types would be very helpful.
  

  
  

• In addition, when excluding a file via context-menu in the project explorer, the options under the note are not updated. This is a bit confusing; I think it should be available immediately.
  
  

  No node information:
  
  After reloading the project:
  
  The Information is available:
  
  For this the ‘Options Under Node’ or ‘Options in Folder’ must be enabled in the project explorer settings:
  

• Some icons are not adopted to the dark theme, which make them hard to recognize, would be amazing to update those:
  
• One small thing, I recognized as I copied a formular to a comment which contains Unicode characters: The Unicode characters are not counted when a selected text is highlighted:
  
  Also insert and edit is not working correctly
