 <h1>Configuring The Parser/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 parser must be configured properly for it to find header files, otherwise
 the code analysis features may not have sufficient information available,
 and will not provide a complete analysis.
 </p>

 <p>
 Additionally it may be necessary to provide the parser with additional information
 on symbols (preprocessor macros) so that the preprocessing phase of the parser
 is correct.
 </p>

 <p><b>Configuring the Parser</b></p>
 <p>
 Tasks for configuring the parser:
 <ul>
   <li><a href="../reference/remote_properties_paths.html">Setting up remote include paths</a></li>
   <li><a href="../reference/remote_properties_symbols.html">Setting up symbols</a></li>
 </ul>
 </p>

 <p><b>Configuring the Indexer</b></p>

 <p>
 The indexer used for C/C++ projects may be configured using the
 <b>C/C++ General &gt; Indexer</b> properties page.
 For Remote C/C++ projects the <b>RDT Remote Fast Indexer</b> must be selected,
 otherwise the project will not be able to communicate with the remote index and
 none of the code analysis features will work correctly.
 </p>

 <p><b>Indexer Problems</b></p>

 <img src="../../images/indexer_problem.png" alt="Remote indexing warning dialog">
 <p>
 A prompt will appear when problems are encountered during indexing.  Information
 on these problems can be found in the Remote System Explorer <b>rsecomm.log</b>, located in
 <code>$HOME/.eclipse/RSE/</code> on the remote host.</p>

 <p><b>Editor Warnings</b></p>

 <p>
 There is a known issue where sometimes the remote editor displays
 false warnings about syntax errors or invalid include directives. To disable
 editor warnings do the following:
 <ol>
   <li>Use the workbench menu to open the Preferences dialog, <b>Window &gt; Preferences.</b></li>
   <li>Navigate to the Annotations preference page, <b>General &gt; Editors &gt; Text Editors &gt; Annotations</b>.</li>
   <li>Select <b>C/C++ Indexer Markers.</b></li>
   <li>Uncheck all the checkboxes.</li>
   <li>Click <b>Apply</b>.</li>
 </ol>
