I am using version Luna for the first time and I noticed an option that I have been waiting for. But this option, Window->Preferences, C/C++->Indexer->Index source files not included in the build, doesn't appear to do what it says.
I am assuming that when this option is set, that the indexer will just index everything under the root directory of the project (behavior expected in earlier releases). But with this option not set I would expect the indexer to be basing it's selection of files to index on the build. In other words, it would base it's selection on build output or makefiles. But with nothing built, as soon as the project is loaded, the indexer starts indexing everything under the root directory.
Am I misunderstanding this new feature.

Yes, I am providing my own Makefiles. So from what you are telling me, this option is only useful if you are using auto generated Makefiles.
I have set the "Source Location" but problem is, we have 30+ projects that have the same source code location (lots of shared code). Hence the need for the above feature. The current code structure has been in place for 10+ years so it will not be changed anytime soon.
Thanks for the help. I will post another question with a different topic since this option is not helpful to me.
