<h1>C/C++ Indexer</h1>
|
|
<p>The C/C++ indexer uses the parser to create a database of your
|
|
source and header files that provides the basis for C/C++ search,
|
|
navigation features and parts of content assist.</p>
|
|
<p>The indexer runs on a background thread and reacts to resource
|
|
change events such as:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>C/C++ project creation/deletion</li>
|
|
<li>Source files creation/deletion</li>
|
|
<li>File imports</li>
|
|
<li>Source file content changes</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>It is possible to customize the behavior of the indexer through the
|
|
use of source folders or even turn it off completely. This customizable
|
|
behavior is available on a per-project basis (i.e. it is possible to
|
|
have different indexer settings for each project in your workspace). <br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>CDT supports the contribution of additional indexers, with 2
|
|
indexers being provided with the default CDT release:<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Fast C/C++ Indexer : provides fastest indexing capabilities - both
|
|
declarations and cross reference information. This is the recommended indexer.<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>Full C/C++ Indexer : provides even more accurate indexing capabilities at the cost of performance - both
|
|
declarations and cross reference information.<br>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
