Issue with parsing of conditionally compiled code or how to force parser to process the code under conditional compilation

[Eugene Agafonov]

Hi!

It seems to me the original problem I've faced is solved with Custom 
Build plugin
I've finally get the plugin working.   Thanks for a great job! *thumbup*

I've faced another issue: new defines are not applied immediately. I've 
restarted kdevelop
several times before defines are applied.  No exact scenario yet :-(

I've added some logging into CustomBuildSystem::defines and 
CustomBuildSystem::includeDirectories to make sure they return data I've 
entered. They do actually but it looks like defies are not applied 
immediately as  soon as added. It seems to me the parser need to be 
kicked somehow.

As I can see the background parser job is started as soon as Apply/OK 
button is applied on Custom Build build settings dialog but it is not 
enough to apply newly defined macro.

Any ideas?

Thanks a lot, Eugene Agafonov.
