About Editing Code

The C/C++ editor, part of the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT), provides specialized

features for editing C/C++ files. The editor includes the following features:

Syntax highlighting

Code completion

Code searching

Normally, you use the C/C++ editor in the Nios II C/C++ perspective. It is also available in

the C/C++ and Debug perspectives. You can invoke the C/C++ editor by opening a file from

the Nios II C/C++ Projects view.
