Developing C and C++ applications

The C/C++ development tools help you build and run optimized C or C++ programs. You can use the C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT) to create and run your programs and use the UML diagram editor to explore and edit your code.

You can use UML class diagrams to develop structural features in C/C++ applications. Using UML sequence diagrams, you can create UML representations of C/C++ source elements to understand and develop behaviors and interactions between classes and data types. Using non-editable UML topic and browse diagrams, you can explore and navigate through a C/C++ application to view the details of its elements and relationships.

You can also navigate to C/C++ source code and start C/C++ source code editors from diagrams to develop your application.

You can use the CDT to work in a C/C++ integrated development environment (IDE). With the CDT, you can edit code, generate makefiles, and debug and launch applications. You can also search the projects in your workspace for references to, declarations of, or definitions of specific elements. While you work in the IDE, you can perform searches and builds in the background.
