    <p>I'm working on a large C project (multiple makefiles, modified third party code, etc.) and I would like to use Eclipse as a graphical front-end for GDB and for browsing/editing the code. </p> <p>Right now I have a problem where Eclipse can resolve the macros and functions in the code, but not data structures or enums. Please note I am only concerned with browsing/editing the code. I will compile the project outside of Eclipse. I should also mention that Eclipse has no trouble resolving anything from a standard C library. I see that is a common question, but that is not a problem here.</p> <p>So far I've done the following:</p> <ul> <li>The entire code base is loaded into Eclipse.</li> <li>I can launch the final application from Eclipse and interact with it in the Console.</li> <li>The Indexer is enabled and it's set to index source files not included in the build, unused headers, and to not skip anything. I've run the Indexer a few times. I've also tried closing/reopening the project and restarting Eclipse.</li> <li>I added the directory containing the header files for the project to Properties->Paths and Symbols->Includes. I see this directory under "Includes" in the Project Explorer".</li> </ul> <p>If I'm browsing a source file, I can right click and select "Open Declaration" to see macro definitions and function definitions, even if those definitions are in other files. This is not working for data structures or enums. Eclipse reports Type "StructureX" could not be resolved?</p> <p>What do I need to do so Eclipse can resolve data structures?</p> <p><strong>Update</strong></p> <p>I just looked at the parser.log file. I see "Attempt to use symbol failed:" for the structures and enum members Eclipse can't resolve, but I don't see the reason why.</p>

    1. COI'll just mention that I was able to get Eclipse working as a front-end for GDB for the application today. Already solved a tough problem with it.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
