[Github-comments] [geany/geany] 1.27 | C++ | WXUNUSED instead of method name in symbols tree (#2015)

[Colomban Wendling]

> it seems, that Geany 1.27

1.27 is quite old, it has been released in march 2016, you might want to try a newer version for some things -- although neither of the ones you're talking about here would be magically fixed by a new version, and is fixable in 1.27 just fine.

To fix the symbols tree, you need to tell Geany to handle `WXUNUSED` specially, because it confuses the parser (and although there might be some possibilities for better heuristics, it's virtually impossible to Do the Right Thing™ without knowing to what the macro expands).  Do tell Geany to ignore `WXUNUSED` when parsing C and C++ sources for symbols, go to *Tools ⇒ Configuration Files ⇒ ignore.tags* and add a line `WXUNUSED`. I'm not 100% sure this menu item existed back in 1.27, if not please look up *ignore.tags* in the manual of your version.

> It is possible to not use this macro, but one will get warnings about unused variable.

You mean when you compile?  This suggests your build setup is incorrect, and Geany doesn't know for you how to set up the environment for wxWidgets, so you'll have to tell it what to do (using a build system or tuning the build commands), which you're likely already doing if you're successfully building your app; so you should just have to add the right tweak.
I unfortunately don't know wxWidgets and can't tell you how to get `WXUNUSED` to work.
