Set Discovery Options

For most standard make projects you will want to parse the output of the build to populate your paths and symbols tables.

To do so right click on your project and select Properties > C/C++ Make Project > Discovery Options and select the Automate discovery of paths and symbols checkbox.

There are two discovery profiles available:

• Per project - all discovered paths and symbols are associated with the project; all files use this information.
  

• Per file - specific discovered paths and symbols are associated with a file or set of files they apply to. Header files that do not inherit information from a source file that includes it will use project level information. Source files that have not been compiled at all will have no information associated (high level CDT functionality will be limited for these files).
  
  Use per file profile to improve CDT features correctness.
  
  

For both profiles there is an option to discover paths and symbols based on a previous build output. To activate the discovery select a build log file and then the Load button.
