C++ Project Properties options 

Description 

Manage include and library paths 

If this option is checked, when a user adds files to the project, adds the paths for these files to the appropriate include path options to ensure the compiler/linker can find the files. If unchecked, does not update include paths automatically and the user takes responsibility for ensuring includes and library paths are correct. Default = true  

Verify package imports and libraries 

If checked, verifies that all package-related libraries can be found before linking. If a file is not found, displays a dialog asking the user for the location and update the include paths accordingly. If unchecked, don't perform this verification. Default = true  

Show header dependencies in project manager 

If checked, creates and shows a list of all header files on which a C/C++ file depends in the Project Manager if the information is available. If unchecked, does not generate the list. Default = false  

Use auto-dependency checking when available 

If an object file already exists for a source file, a tool creates a new object file if the modification date of the source is newer than that of the object file. If this option is checked, the tool builds a new object file if any of the include files on which a source file depends have a newer modification date than the object file. If unchecked, the tool does not check all include files. Enabling this option helps guarantee more accurate builds. Default = true  

Show general messages 

Show all messages from tools without filtering. Default = false
