C/C++ Project properties: Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros, etc. - Entries tab

Include paths and preprocessor macros for C/C++ indexer can be inspected and set up on the project property page "Preprocessor Include Paths, Macros, etc.", "Entries" tab. This tab presents Language Settings Providers employed by Scanner Discovery to provide include paths, macros and other Language Settings.

Note that the entries could be set also on an individual resource, such as file or folder. Open file or folder properties to inspect resource-specific entries. The entries on a folder or a project will apply to all subfolders and C/C++ files under it - unless overriden on a lower level.

"Entries" tab shows a list of Language Settings Providers for each language. A provider node can be expanded to show include paths and macros defined by the provider. A user can add custom entries here under "User Setting Entries" provider.
