Resolve context

Last modified: 22 September 2023

Syntax highlighting, as well as other code insight features like find usages, refactorings, code generation, and code analysis may depend on the set of preprocessor definitions which determine the rules of parsing and resolving your code. These rules are also known as resolve context.

note

Switching resolve context is available for CMake projects only. For compilation database and Makefile projects, resolve context is defined for each source file.

Switch resolve context for the currently opened file (CMake projects)

In the case of CMake projects, the resolve context is defined by the corresponding CMake profile.

  • Select the desired configuration or profile in the switcher. Resolve context will switch automatically.

    CMake profiles switcher

  • Use the context switcher in the right-bottom corner of the status bar:

    Resolve context switcher

    Click Select automatically to restore the automatic selection after manual changes.
