Sets properties that control certain aspects of how the IDE manages a new C++Builder project:
- The Project Options page controls C++ settings for the current project only.
- The Tools Options page controls the default C++ settings for new projects only.
| C++ Project Properties options | Description |
|---|---|
| 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
|
| 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 updates the include paths accordingly. If unchecked, this verification does not occur. Default = true
|
|
Manage include and library paths |
When a user adds files to the project (and this option is checked), 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 = |
|
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 = |
|
Index files for 'Definitions and References' |
On the Project Options page, enables the indexer support (Find References (C++)) for the current C++ project. Once enabled, you can access all the Find commands from the Code Editor Context Menu. Default = On the Tools Options page, enables Find References (C++) for all your C++ projects. When you enable this option, an SQLite database is created in the current project folder. |
|
Show general messages |
Show all messages from tools without filtering. Default = |

Run C++ compiler in a separate process |
Starts a separate compilation process, outside of the IDE, when you perform a Make or Build. This option is useful for compiling large projects that yield out-of-memory errors from the compiler when the compiler is run in-process (using the Make or Build command). A File Save dialog prompts you to save your project before compiling unless you just saved. If you are using a Clang-enhanced C++ compiler, you can use "Run C++ compiler in a separate process" in combination with "Enable batch compilation" to enable parallel compilation. "Number of subprocesses" determines the number of subprocesses that the compiler can spawn to perform parallel compilation. This number cannot be higher than the number of cores of your processor. Default = Off. |
| Number of subprocesses | Also known as--jobs. It runs multiple C++ compiler processes at once, according to your configuration. This option is always enabled when choosing a ‘batch compilation.’
