C/C++ editor
The Stand-alone Debugger provides an editor that gives you specific support for editing C/C++ code. This C/C++ editor is invoked automatically when you open a C/C++ source file. While you are able to modify the contents of a file, if you save those changes, you will need to rebuild the project outside of the Stand-alone Debugger to synchronize the debug information in the executable with the source files used.
The C/C++ editor includes the following features:
- Syntax highlighting
- Content/code assist
- Code folding
- Integrated debugging features
You can customize some of the operation of the Editor view from the Window > Preferences > C/C++ > Editor preferences dialog.
