Type 'uint32_t' could not be resolved
Solution 1
I know this question is old, but I feel it's worth mentioning that I was having this exact problem and was able to resolve it just be rebuilding the index: right-click the project, "Index", "Rebuild". You said that you had rebuilt the index and it didn't help; importantly, I did this after adding -std=c++11
to the command line for the compiler specified in the "CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings", which can be found by opening project properties and going to "C/C++ General", "Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros etc", "Providers" tab. You wouldn't, if I understand correctly, need to do this with GCC version 6+ as it defaults to C++14; I'm using GCC 5.4 myself.
If that doesn't help, the best path for debugging the issue is probably to open the declaration for cstdint
(the include file itself - so, right click cstdint
within the #include
directive, and choose "open declaration") - this will show you the included file, with sections greyed out if they are precluded via preprocessor macros (#ifdef
and the like). You may be able to see immediately why uint32_t
is not considered defined. In my case, the __cplusplus
macro had an unsuitable value and this led me to adding -std=c++11
to the compiler command line as mentioned above - but I still needed to rebuild the index before the problem was fully resolved.
Solution 2
Try to enable the CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings in Project>Properties>Preprocessor Includes>Providers.

I am working on a C++ program in Eclipse (3.8.1) CDT. I am using the gcc compiler on Debian 8. I'm also using an open source library called opendnp3 written in C++, which requires uint32_t to resolve as it's a parameter in several method calls and constructors.
In the opendnp objects, intellisense doesnt list
__uint32_t
however, DOES resolve.The type is defined in
<cstdint>
(<cstdint>
resolves just fine). I can open the declaration and clearly see 'using ::uint32_t;
' in there.In my searching, I've added
-std=c++11
to 'All options' under 'C/C++ Build --> Settings -> Tool Settings -> GCC C++ Compiler' and I've also rebuilt the project index and restarted Eclipse, but it still doesn't resolve.Here's the code so far: Edited to a simple HelloWorld project to help diagnose problem
#include <iostream> #include <cstdint> //has uint32_t defined using namespace std; int main() { __uint32_t t = 0; //resolves just fine uint32_t i = 0; //Type could not be resolved auto x = "123"; //C++ 11 working cout << "Foo!" << endl; // prints Foo! return 0; }
CDT Console after a build attempt:
23:10:52 **** Incremental Build of configuration Debug for project FOO **** make all make: Nothing to be done for 'all'.
23:10:52 Build Finished (took 133ms)

ErikJL almost 8 yearsLooks like its already there. Under GNU C++, I see 4 entries, one of which is CDT GCC Built-in Compiler Settings [Shared]
