Finding CodeCompass binary path

Open intjftw opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Multiple plugins need to know the absolute path of the CodeCompass binary that is being run, in places where they don't reach argv[0].

It's usually that the plugin needs to run another binary on a relative path to the CC binary (e.g. the competence plugin wants to run JPlag, Java and C# plugins need to run their own parser components in their respective languages), and this can't be done if the CC binary is not run from the install directory.
