Note: Code analysis features may not have sufficient information available if the parser and indexer are not configured properly. For more information see: Configuring The Parser/Indexer.
To invoke the remote C/C++ editor, select your source file in the Project Explorer view, and either single- or double-click it (depending on your preferences) or right-click and select Open With > Remote C/C++ Editor. Notice that the default editor is indicated by a marker to the left.
The C/C++ editor does not contain a toolbar itself, but relies on the use of the main toolbar, edit menu, search menu, and key binding actions.
An outline view is associated with the remote C/C++ editor. It shows the structure of the active C, C++ or makefile. It is updated as you edit these files:
More information on the outline view can be found here.
You can also open declarations from within the editor. For example, select a line in your source file that contains #include, right-click and select Open Declaration:
The source for the include file will open in the editor.
You can perform a number of additional tasks including opening a type hierarchy or opening a call hierarchy by selecting an element from within the editor and right-clicking. For more information see:
