This C/C++ editor is invoked automatically when you open a C/C++ source file. While you are able to modify the contents of a file, if you save those changes, you will need to rebuild the project outside of the Stand-alone Debugger to synchronize the debug information in the executable with the source files used.</p> <p>The C/C++ editor includes the following features:</p> <ul> <li>Syntax highlighting</li> <li>Content/code assist</li> <li>Code folding</li> <li>Integrated debugging features</li> </ul> <p>You can customize some of the operation of the Editor view from the <strong>Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Editor</strong> preferences dialog.</p> <p><img src="../images/ngconcepts.gif" ALT="Related concepts" width="143" height="21"> <br><a href="cdt_c_over_cdt.htm">CDT Overview</a> </p> <p><img src="../images/ngtasks.gif" ALT="Related tasks" width="143" height="21"> <br><a href="../tasks/cdt_t_contentassist.htm">Using Content Assist</a> </p> <p><img src="../images/ngref.gif" ALT="Related reference" width="143" height="21"> <br><a href="../reference/cdt_o_ceditor_pref.htm">C/C++ editor preferences</a> <br><a href="../reference/cdt_u_outline_view.htm">Outline view for C/C++</a> <br><a href="../reference/cdt_o_views.htm">Views and editors</a> </p> <p> <img src="../images/rh03_04.gif" ALT="Red Hat Copyright Statement"><br> <img src="../images/ng00_07.gif" ALT=" IBM Copyright Statement" > </p> </div> </body> </html>
