MCUXpresso replicates -D__MULTICORE_NONE and -D__MULTICORE_MASTER in .cproject file ad infinitum.

The MCUXpresso IDE keeps adding -D__MULTICORE_MASTER and -D__MULTICORE_NONE to .cproject file:

This seems to happen after builds, at least after the first one. This results in the .cproject file showing up in git as having been modified, even though it really hasn't been, and also makes it more difficult to resolve merge conflicts involving the .cproject file. These defines continue to multiply over several commits and checkouts and need to be cleaned out every once in a while.

Hi, 

Could you please let me know which device are you using?

Are you using SDK?

Soledad,

This is an LPC55S69. We're using the SDK version 2.6.2 for this chip.

Hi, 

Which project are you using? 

If you are using a Multicore example, there are some considerations you need to check. 

Please check the attached document, page 187. 

I hope this helps, have a nice day!

Regards 

Soledad

That didn't help me. I'm not trying to use multicore, just core0 of the m33.

I have several projects, and only one exhibits this behavior. For this project, every time I apply changes to Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings, the string -D__MULTICORE_MASTER gets added twice to the assembly flags.

Also, unlike the other projects, the MCU Linker->Multicore settings show a pulldown menu with only M33SLAVE in it, as opposed to a list of possible slaves that can be selected.

This problem is a pain because it makes merging changes to .cproject more difficult.

The .cproject file is attached.

Thanks.

Roger

Hi, 

Sorry for my delay. Do you still have issues? Did you test using the sdk 2.6.3?
