I use STM32CubeIDE version 1.6.1, and have noticed that CubeMX outputs formatted code (e.g. indented with 2 spaces). I would like to reapply this source code formatting manually (that is, manually trigger the source code formatting on selected files).
I have found this post: https://www.openstm32.org/forumthread6435 , which mentions:
go the preferences dialog and select C/C++ > Code Style > Formatter
click on “Edit...” change the tab size field. close the preferences
Then, select all the project you want to apply it, click right and select “Source > Format”
So, I'm not 100% sure the above quote refers to STM32CubeIDE, however, the first part is still there, in Window/Preferences I can get to this:
However, I cannot see how to trigger this source code formatting manually, on selected files. For instance, https://dvteclipse.com/documentation/e/Format_Multiple_Files.html for Eclipse (that STM32CubeIDE is built upon), mentions that by right-clicking source files, one can call the command "Format Source Files"; however, when I click my main.c in the STM32CubeIDE Project Explorer, I cannot see anything like that:
So, is there a way to manually trigger automatic source code formatting on selected (single or multiple) source code files in STM32CubeIDE?
Got it, finally - when you right-click the Core node, or any of its children, in Project Explorer in STM32CubeIDE, you get a "Source >" entry in the right-click context menu, which has only one child, "Format":

I would like to remember my team the ports used for debugging, for several projects.
A Ctrl-F in a directory, and I have my results under IntelliJ_2021.1.3 Ultimate I'm using,
but I have no way to paste them, like they are on this window, either with Ctrl-C or Ctrl-Ins , on another location in order to send a mail to my teammates.
Does a workaround exist, or has this feature been implemented in a later version I should try to upgrade to?
I don't think there is a simple and direct way to do what you want. However, there is a workaround:
Run your search, and then from the Find in Files window click the Open in Find Window button:
Right-click anywhere within that Find window listing the occurrences, then select Export to Text File from the context menu:
An Export Preview window will open, showing the search results in expanded hierarchical form, reflecting the structure under the directory you searched. Within that window you can select any contiguous portion of text, then right click and select Copy from the context menu:
You can then paste the selected text into any other window, and massage the results as necessary:
Notes:
This is only a workaround because unfortunately I don't see a way to directly copy the results in your screen shot, in which each line shows a both a search occurrence and its file location. That information is still in the copied text, but it may take a bit of effort to get it in the form you want.
The Copy button in the Export Preview window ignores any text selection and blindly copies everything, so use Copy from the context menu instead if selecting a subset of the text.
I used IntelliJ IDEA 2023.1 EAP (Ultimate Edition). I don't know whether this functionality exists in your version.
I normally do git diff for this but want to leverage the intellij gui.
The Version Control tab just shows me all the files that changed:
To view the actual changes I have to select a file and choose "Show Diff".
This opens another window. Now from this other window if I want to see changes for another file I have to click this button then open the other file:
I don't like that. Is there a way to have this in the same pane? Where on the left I see a list of the changed files and I just have to select the file to see its changes? Otherwise its very clunky and unusable for being able to see a tree of changed files and selecting the one's changes I want to see
Just found it, I wanted "preview diff"
CLion 2016.2 helpfully detects potential errors in the file you're editing, which can be seen in the validation bar to the right of the code.
That's just a single file though, is there a way (like a tool window) to get a list of all such warnings in the whole project, or specific parts of it?
Bonus points if it also lists warnings and errors from the compiler, though that's less important, because the compiler output already includes any it found.
Yes, it is possible. The feature you are looking for is called the Inspector.
Do: Find Action... | Inspect Code. It will show a pop-up that will allow you to select the scope: file, whole project, custom, and the Inspection profile (you can choose the type of errors you want to see):
After clicking OK, this is an example of the output, that you can navigate with the mouse or with keyboard shortcuts:
In version 2017.2, I have it under Code | Inspect Code....
You can also right click a folder in Project view and select Inspect Code... there to be able to check only that folder.
I hate to ask such simple questions, but nothing I found so far helped me...
So, I've recently started using IntelliJ instead of Eclipse and there are 2 things that really bothers me...
1.) size of javadoc popup window - ok, so I finally get this little guy to pop-up whenever I need it, but it's so small I have to use scroll every single time... and that's pretty anoying when I'm working with unknown libraries...
2.) tabs == spaces - maybe some of you like this, but I don't... Eclipse was treating tabs as tabs and not spaces... I tried to change settings but with no result... or is that maybe connected with project I'm working on? (meaning, if, at the start of a project, setting were such that tabs == spaces and now changes are not applied to it)
Sorry for stupid question but, as I said, nothing I found so far helped me...
1) Just resize the window with your mouse. It will retain the size the next time it opens. You can also click on the gear icon in the upper right corner and adjust the font size. Again, it will retain the size on subsequent use.
2) I'm assuming you make the change to the "Use Tab Character" option on the "Tabs and Indents" tab for all file types and saved the Code Style. After that, you need to run the Reformat Code action (Ctrl+Alt+L or Code > Reformat Code from the menu or Reformat Code from the context menu (i.e. right-click) in The Project Tool window or Navigation Bar). IDEA retains the previous formatting (so spaces in this case) until you run a reformat on the project (or a part of it).
If you have multiple projects already created, for each one, you will need to go into File > Settings > [Project Settings] > Code Style and set the Scheme (and then do a reformat). While the Scheme definition is saved IDE wide, the scheme to use is set per project (which makes sense since an Apache Open Source project you are working on may have different code style requirements than the projects you do at work vs the ones you do for fun).
Finally, you will also want to go into File > Other Settings > Default Settings > [Template Project Settings] > Code Style and make sure your saved code style scheme (with the use tab option) is set so that new projects use that scheme when they are created.
In GNAT Programming Studio, how do you run the program? I see it compiled successfully, but I do not see where my program has started running. I would like to test it.
First, you have to select your Main procedure in the project properties (see the "main files" tab). You can actually choose multiple files for multiple executables.
Next, you have to build it - either by pressing F4 for the first Main File in the list, or by choosing it in the Build->Project submenu, or by choosing "build all" in the Build->Project submenu (or use the toolbar for the menu entries).
Last, you can choose, which of your Main Files to run by choosing it in the Build->Run menu, or by pressing shift+F2 for the first file in the list. Enter the parameters in the dialog and press OK.
There should be a new Tab next to the Messages panel, where all output is placed, and you can use it for input, too. You could choose to use an external terminal in the run dialog.
If you want to debug it, have a look at the Debug menu. Read the documentation for more information.
Last, you can choose, which of your Main Files to run by choosing it in the Build->Run menu, or by pressing shift+F2 for the first file in the list. Enter the parameters in the dialog and press OK.
Whatever I enter here, e.g. either the name of the project, Primes_Count or the name of what I see to be the 'executable', Primes_Count.o, it just does not run.
And I get this message output on the Messages window :
Could not locate executable on path: Primes_Count.o
I don't see why Ada is making such a big deal out of the Run step.
If there is another stage between making the .o file and a finished Ada executable, then surely it is something that the GPS system can take care of itself . . .
December.
OK now, sorted. The GPS panel governing this [ Project menu > Edit Proj Props > Main Files tab ] setting was blacked out until clicked.
Running available now and working well.
it is Project->Properties-> Main Files add your file to run. This will sort out the issue.
