<h1>Searching for C/C++ elements</h1>
|
|
|
14 |
|
|
|
15 |
<p>It is recommended that you perform searches on successfully compiled
|
|
|
16 |
programs to ensure the accuracy of search results. It is important to familiarize yourself with the correct search syntax
|
|
|
17 |
to use to complete an effective search. It is also important to ensure that
|
|
|
18 |
include paths and symbols are correctly defined. For more information, see
|
|
|
19 |
<a href="cdt_t_proj_paths.htm">Including paths and symbols</a>.</p>
|
|
|
20 |
|
|
|
21 |
<p>See <a href="../concepts/cdt_c_search.htm">C/C++ search</a>, for more information on:</p>

<li>How to limit your search</li>

<p>Performing a C/C++ Search can be done in a number of different ways but regardless of the manner chosen the same information must be provided to C/C++ Search.</p>
|
|
|
33 |
|
|
|
34 |
The info required to do a search is:
|
|
|
35 |
|
|
|
36 |
<table border="1" cellpadding="2" valign="top">
|
|
|
37 |
<tr>
|
|
|
38 |
<td valign="top"><b>Search string</b></td>
|
|
|
39 |
<td valign="top">this is the name of the element you are looking for. See <a href="../concepts/cdt_c_search.htm">C/C++ search</a> for more information on how to specify wildcard searches and how to further refine your searches by using fully qualified names</td>
|
|
|
40 |

|
|
|
41 |

|
|
|
42 |
<td valign="top"><b>Search For </b></td>
|
|
|
43 |
<td valign="top">this is the element type that you wish to search for. You can also select to search on ‘Any Element’ which will perform the search on a combination of all elements</td>
|

45 |
<tr>
|
|

46 |
<td valign="top"><b>Limit To</b></td>
|
|
|
47 |
<td valign="top">this allows you to limit your search to declarations, definitions or references. You can also select ‘All Occurrences’ which will search for declarations, definitions and references that match the element</td>

|

49 |

|
|
|
50 |
<td valign="top"><b>Scope</b></td>
|
|

51 |
<td valign="top">this allows the user to limit the scope of the search. The three available scopes are:

<table border="0" cellpadding="2">

<p>There are 3 main ways for initiating a C/C++ search:
|
|
