<h1>Setting Source Folders</h1>
|
|
|
11 |
<p><i>Note that source folders can only be currently used with Standard
|
|
|
12 |
Make projects. Managed Make projects treat the entire project as a
|
|
|
13 |
source folder.</i></p>
|
|
|
14 |
<p>Source folders are a way to cut down on a project’s indexing scope.
|
|
|
15 |
You can mark the folders that are part of your day to day work or part
|
|
|
16 |
of a subsystem that you work on. All files inside source folders will
|
|
|
17 |
be indexed and are, thus, searchable. Note that any files pulled in by
|
|
|
18 |
a file inside a source folder will also be indexed. </p>
|
|
|

|
|
|
20 |
<p>To setup source folders:
|
|
|
21 |
</p>
|
|
|
22 |
<ol>
|
|
|
23 |
<li>Right click on the project and select <b>Properties > C/C++
|
|
|
24 |
Project Paths</b></li>
|
|
|
25 |
<li>Click on the <b>Source</b> tab<br>
|
|
|
26 |
By default the entire project is a source folder, which means
|
|
|
27 |
everything will be indexed. This is reasonable for smaller projects but
|
|
|
28 |
definitely not recommended for large projects. </li>
|
|
|
29 |
<li>Click <b>Add folder</b> to add the folders. A dialog will
|
|
|
30 |
explain exclusion filters have been added to nesting folders. You will
|
|
|
31 |
see that the folder you added will be excluded from the project folder
|
|
|
32 |
(in order to avoid including a folder twice). Repeat until all the
|
|
|
33 |
folders have been added. <br>
|
|
|
34 |
<b>Note: </b>Don't forget to remove the project folder (which
|
|
|
35 |
appears by default) otherwise everything will be indexed.</li>
|
|
|
36 |
<li>Click <b>OK</b>. Your view in C/C++ projects will now change.
|
|
|
37 |
You should see your source folders designated with a "C" and all other
|
|
|
38 |
source and header files icons that are in a non-source folder will
|
|
|
39 |
change to a "hollow" C or H.</li>
|
|
|
40 |
</ol>
