Configuring Code Assistance For Projects with Existing Sources

See Also 

For a C/C++ Project With Existing Sources, you can specify how your code will be parsed to enable the code assistance features of the IDE.

Code assistance is a set of IDE features that help you navigate and edit source code. See About Editing C and C++ Source Files for more about these features.

When you create the project, you can specify the include files and macro definitions that will be used by the built-in parser. Or if the project has been built with debug information, you can have the built-in parser automatically search for the include files and macro definitions for each compiled source file.

To specify additional code assistance configuration information that will improve the accuracy of the code assistance features of the IDE for a project, use the Configure Code Assistance wizard. To start the wizard, right-click your project and choose Configure Code Assistance.
