| <div><h1>C/C++ Project properties: Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros, etc. - Providers tab</h1> |
| |
| <p> |
| Include paths and preprocessor macros for C/C++ indexer and other <strong>Language Settings</strong> are supplied by <strong>Language Settings Providers</strong> as part of <a href="../concepts/cdt_c_scanner_discovery.htm">Scanner Discovery</a>. |
| Language Settings Providers can be set up and configured for the selected configuration in the "Providers" tab. |
| </p> |
| <p> |
| "Providers" tab is only shown in properties of a project, not in properties of a file or a folder. |

| A user can define some options for configuration providers (or "non-shared") on this property page. Note that providers can be either shared or defined per configuration. |
| Options of global (or "shared") providers can be configured on <a href="../reference/cdt_u_pref_build_scanner_discovery.htm">C/C++ Preferences: Scanner Discovery</a>. |
| </p> |
| |
| <p> |
| There are 2 specific options that are added for non-shared providers defined per configuration. They are described in the table below. |

| <td headers="description">Providers can persist their entries in workspace or under project folder. |
