C/C++ search
Build overview
Find out what's new in CDT 1.2.
You can search the projects in your workspace for references to, declarations or definitions of, particular elements. Only header files referenced by a source file in your workspace are included in a search.
You can now create a Managed build and have makefiles generated for you.
The error parsers are now extension-points that can contributed by other plugins. The error parsers are used to detect errors or warnings or informational messages from compilers, linkers, etc... during a build.
Support changing/enabling default make targets for each workbench build type. New default build location setting.
New user settable error parser configuration. User can enable/disable and change older of the build error parsers used during the project build.
New Includes paths and Preprocessor symbols entry to allow proper indexing and search of the project.
Make targets now support Stop on error build option and ability to change the default build command.
Old Standard Make projects will be automatically updated to support the new options. If update is declined, then selecting Update Old Make project... from the context menu of the project will update the project to a new Standard Make project.
You can now select the number system (natural, decimal, hexadecimal) used to display variables and expressions.
In the Variable view, a detail pane has been added to let you see the value of a selected variable. This is practical when looking at a string (char *).
In the Variable view, a variable can be cast to a different type or be restored to its original type. Also, a pointer can be cast to an array type.
The value of variables are queried at every step.
This can be time-consuming on certain embedded targets. The automatic query of variables can be disabled. Manual queries are now an option.
A new source locator in the Run/Debug dialog box makes it possible to add directories to search, mapping, and the order of the search.
For GDB/MI code, two new actions are added in the launch view, stop-on-solib and auto-load-symbols. Stop-on-solib will force the debugger to stop on any shared library events. Auto load will load the symbols for any shared library.
Arrays are now separated into ranges, to limit the possibility of a timeout on large arrays.
You can keep track of previous release-specific developments in the CDT.
