How to open function body (similiar to open declaration)? [message #482492]

Hi all!

Is it possible to open the function body (in .c/.cpp file) with some
command? I have found only the "Open declaration" function.

Thanks.

If you are in the source file containings the function body, you can use
the quick-outline mode (Ctrl-O) to navigate to the function body.

Thanks, I think that I will use this also.

But I wanted to do a little bit different thing. Imagine I have a file 1.c
which calls a function test(). Function test is declared in file 2.h and
its body is in file 2.c. If I use 'Open Declaration' upon test() in 1.c I
will get 2.h file. I would like to go to file 2.c directly from the 1.c.

Hmm, in my case when I press F3 (Open Declaration) on a function Eclipse
will send me directly to the implementation of the function in 2.c. If I
press F3 once more it will send me to the declaration in the header file
2.h
Which CDT version are you using? When I remember correctly the behaviour
you describe was fixed in CDT 5.0.

I figured it out. The problem was that my .c files were not in the project
surce code ;) because it was third party library. I added links to the
source code (Project properties->C/C++ General->Paths and Symbols->Source
Location), excluded them from build and now everything is fine.
