Once my code is compiled, eclipse IDE seemes know everything about my code:
I could find the most original definition of any elements in my code, no matter how deep it is from usage to definition.

the IDE seems know:
1.my code logic
2.my code structure

How eclipse could do this? I need you help and your knowledge. Thank you very much:)

The CDT has it's own parsers for C and C++ and an index of all the things it finds. It works pretty well Smile
