<h1>CDT Overview</h1>
|
|
<p>The C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT) is a set of Eclipse plug-ins that provide
|
|
C and C++ extensions to the Eclipse workbench. For more information about
|
|
Eclipse, see <b>Workbench User Guide > Concepts > Workbench</b>.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The CDT provides a C/C++ IDE that simplifies many of the same tools that
|
|
you can use from the command line. The CDT can also communicate with many external
|
|
utilities and interpret their responses, such as:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Build (such as make).</li>
|
|
<li>Compile (such as gcc). For more information, see
|
|
<a href="http://gcc.gnu.org">http://gcc.gnu.org</a>.</li>
|
|
<li>Debug (such as gdb). For more information, see
|
|
<a href="http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/">http://sources.redhat.com/gdb/</a>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>The CDT opens as the C/C++ perspective of the Eclipse workbench. The
|
|
C/C++ perspective consists of an editor and the following
|
|
views:</p>
|
|
<dl>
|
|
<dt>C/C++ Projects view</dt>
|
|
<dd>Lists all of your C/C++ projects.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Navigator view</dt>
|
|
<dd>Lists all files in your Eclipse <span class="filename">workspace</span>.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Tasks view</dt>
|
|
<dd>Lists things such as tasks, compiler warnings, and errors.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>C-Build view</dt>
|
|
<dd>Displays the output from <span class="command">make</span>.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Properties view</dt>
|
|
<dd>Lists the properties of a file that has been selected in
|
|
the <span class="guilabel">C/C++ Projects</span> view or the
|
|
|
|
<span class="guilabel">Navigator</span> view.</dd>
|
|
|
|
<dt>Outline view</dt>
|
|
<dd>Lists file elements.</dd>
|
|
</dl>
