| <h1>C/C++ projects</h1> |
| |
| <p>Normally, before you can work with plug-ins provided by the CDT, you must create an Eclipse project to store your |
| source code, makefiles, binaries, and related files. However, when you use the Stand-alone Debugger, a project is created |
| for your executable automatically (usually the <strong>Executables</strong> project if only dealing with one executable). |
| The project created on your behalf just contains the executable and links to the source files specified in the debug |
| info. In most cases, you do not need to know about the project to debug, but if you wish to see the various files used |
| and browse them directly with the editor, you can find the project in the C/C++ Projects view. While you are allowed to import |
| files into the C/C++ project, this action is normally used for adding files to a project that can build. Since the Stand-alone |
| Debugger does not contain CDT (C/C++ Developer Tools) build capability, adding files does nothing to aid in debugging and can |
| confuse the indexer if the source has errors in it.</p> |
