<div role="main"><h1>Jumping to errors</h1>
<p>The CDT will parse the output from the make and compiler/linker. If the CDT can
determine an error or a warning, the line is highlighted in the Console view and added
to the Problems view as a <strong>Problem Marker</strong> decorated with
error <img src="../images/icon_error.gif" alt="Error"> or warning <img src="../images/icon_warning.gif" alt="Warning"> icon.
Informational messages are marked with Info <img src="../images/icon_info.gif" alt="Info"> icon.
</p>
<p>To jump to the source of an error do one of the following:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>In the Console view, double-click the highlighted line.</li>
<li><p>In the Problems view, double-click the row of the specific error in the table.</li>
<li><p>If in the Problems view the error is identified as <strong>External Location</strong> in Location column,
use mouse right-click on it, then click on <strong>Open external location</strong> item in the context menu.</li>
</ul>
<p>If CDT can determine file and error line and the file exists - the file opens in the C/C++ editor and the cursor moves to the line with the error.</p>
<p>To jump to errors sequentially:</p>
<ul>
<li>In Editor use Next Annotation <img src="../images/icon_annotation_next.png" alt="Next Annotation">
or Previous Annotation <img src="../images/icon_annotation_prev.png" alt="Previous Annotation"> icons on the toolbar. </li>
<li>In Console view use Next Error <img src="../images/icon_next_error.png" alt="Next Error">
or Previous Error <img src="../images/icon_prev_error.png" alt="Previous Error"> buttons. </li>
</ul>
