Parse

The C/C++ Plugin provides a parser that can quickly read your source files and provide you with enough information to browse and search the objects in your project. The parser has been designed to handle both C and C++ and is still very much a work in progress. The intent is that information can be gleaned from code that is written to any ANSI/ISO standard and even from code containing errors. Therefore, you should rely on your compiler to report any errors in your code.

The parser can be invoked on a single file or a directory (in which case, it will recurse into the directory looking for C/C++ files). Currently you are able to set the Parse Include Path through the Project Properties dialog, but can not yet set any arbitrary environment variables to be used for a parse. Please see Parsing Files for details on how to initiate and configure a parse.
