Code::Blocks plugin to interface with SourceTrail

This is a simple plugin for the Code::Blocks IDE that allows communication between Code::Blocks and SourceTrail. Once installed in Code::Blocks it allows

• The user to select a function/variable etc from Code::Blocks and ask SourceTrail to set it as the Active Token
• The user to select a token from SourceTrail and view the code in Code::Blocks.

There is a Code::Blocks project which will build the plugin (currently only tested under Windows and with Code::Blocks 17.12). In order to build the plugin

• You need to download source code for Code::Blocks and wxWidgets for the headers.
• You need to set the following Code::Blocks variables
  • wx28.INCLUDE - to the location of wxWidgets headers
  • wx28.LIB - to the location of the wxWidgets library used by your installation of Code::Blocks
  • cb.INCLUDE - to the location of the Code::Blocks header files
  • cb.LIB - to the location of the Codeblocks library used by your installation of Code::Blocks

• Firstly you need to import the Code::Blocks project you are interested in to SourceTrail
• To view the code in Code::Blocks of a token in SourceTrail simply click on the token whilst pressing CTRL
• To view a token in SourceTrail from Code::Blocks move the caret to the token you want to view and either
  • Right Click and select "SourceTrail: Show Token"
  • Click on the Edit menu and select "SourceTrail: Show Token"

SourceTrail uses two local TCP connections to communicate with external editors. By default these two connections use

• port 6666 for outgoing messages
• port 6667 for incoming messages It is possible to change these ports in SourceTrail but not currently possible to change them in this plugin
