How to enable Eclipse Compilation Database support (CDB, compile_commands.json)?

[michaelstapelbe]

I have described the procedure to enable Eclipse Compilation Database support (CDB, compile_commands.json) in NXP MCUXpresso v11.3 on my blog:

This will give you working Macro Expansion, Open Declaration, and other C/C++ tooling features when working with external Makefile projects.

Hello @michaelstapelbe,

Nice work! It works well.

Just a little problem that I'm experiencing. I have checked that if the project has assembly files (*.S), then with the "Exclude files not in the Compilation Database" option within "Compilation Database Parser", they are excluded even when they are used by the current project.

I could checked that the assembly files are listed correctly in the compile_commands.json file.

Do you know if there is an option where assembly files can be selected to NOT be excluded?

Thanks
