<p>I need first learn how to do it, I will let you know when I have something.</p>
<p>You are right, in the meantime I did find that the fix is not solving all my complex test cases. I did some investigation and it looks that sometimes the query for project item resources (<a href="https://github.com/vbspam/kdevelop/blob/master/plugins/clang/clangparsejob.cpp#L169" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://github.com/vbspam/kdevelop/blob/master/plugins/clang/clangparsejob.cpp#L169</a>) uses absolute and sometimes canonical path representation.</p>
<p>Subjective opinion: I also realized that I do not like the automatic resolving of symbolic links to be presented to the end user as KTextEditor or KATE components are doing (with some example here: <a href="https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387866#c5" class="remarkup-link" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer">https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=387866#c5</a> which has I believe consequences described in the bug report). This is not suggestion for change, it is just other view. I can understand that KDevelop may have reasons why is doing it this way. I did realized that when I used QtCreator which does not resolve symlinks and I felt this as more comfortable when thinking about the code (no need to draw attention to locations outside the project).</p>
<p>I will go through by you suggested spots in the code to better understand the issue and maybe try to fix it properly.</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R32 KDevelop</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D9297" rel="noreferrer">https://phabricator.kde.org/D9297</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>vbspam, KDevelop, mwolff<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>mwolff, brauch, kdevelop-devel, iodelay, vbspam, njensen, geetamc, Pilzschaf, akshaydeo, surgenight, arrowdodger<br /></div>
