<h2>General</h2>
<strong>Scanner Discovery</strong> (sometimes called <strong>Autodiscovery</strong>) is a method of finding include paths and predefined preprocessor macros which the compiler uses during compilation of the code.

If information retrieved by auto-discovery is insufficient or the project deviates from a standard one supported by CDT a user can enter additional include paths and macros manually under "User Settings Entries".
</p>
<h2>Project Explorer View</h2>
<p>
The <strong>Project Explorer View</strong> provides a means to view some of the settings. The discovered include paths are shown under the project when "Includes" node is expanded.<br>
Also, a <strong>"Wrench" overlay</strong> icon is shown for those file/folders where distinct entries are discovered which differ from those of parent folder. Wrench is not shown on project level.<br>
In the example below, <span class="typewriter">Hello.cpp</span> was compiled with added <span class="typewriter">-DHELLO</span> compiler option.
After BOP discovery "Wrench" overlay is shown for this file.

The output of built-in compiler specs detectors can be inspected to troubleshoot problems running the command.
To do so, enable checkbox "Allocate console in the Console View".
