6.x: Growing project file
Posted by Alexander Alexeev on 16 March 2009 10:33

Problem:

Each time the project settings are changed the project file grows with entries like this:
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1" value="C:\Program"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.10" value="C:\Program"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.100" value="C:\Program"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1000" value="C:\Program"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1001" value="Files\EurekaLog"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1002" value="6\Cbuilder10"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1003" value="C:\Program"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1004" value="Files\EurekaLog"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1005" value="6\Cbuilder10"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1006" value="C:\Program"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1007" value="Files\EurekaLog"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1008" value="6\Cbuilder10"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1009" value="C:\Program"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.101" value="Files\EurekaLog"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1010" value="Files\EurekaLog"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1011" value="6\Cbuilder10"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1012" value="C:\Program"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1013" value="Files\EurekaLog"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1014" value="6\Cbuilder10"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1015" value="C:\Program"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1016" value="Files\EurekaLog"/>
<property category="win32.*.win32b.idl2cpp" name="option.I.arg.1017" value="6\Cbuilder10"/>


Reason:

This problem is not EurekaLog related. If you remove EL expert and try to change options and save the file - the result will be the same.


Known workarounds:

The problem can be solved by installing EurekaLog to a directory that does not contain spaces.


Remarks:

Similar issue on QC: see QC report #47956
C++ Builder 2009 seems does not have that problem.

Checked EL version: 6.0.18
Tested IDE version: C++ Builder 2006
Ticket ID: 237
