Helix QAC determines how to process a source file based on the language of the source file, for example C or C++. It does this using the file extension of the source file and the operating system. For each project, a set of file extensions is mapped to a source language. On Windows systems, the following extensions are used by default:
| C | .c .C |
| C++ | .cpp .CPP .cxx .CXX .cc .CC |
On non-Windows systems, the following extensions are used by default:
| C | .c |
| C++ | .cpp .cxx .cc .cp .c++ .C |
You can change these setting for any project from the main ("Project") tab in Project Properties, which can be launched as follows:
From QA·GUI:
- Project menu : Open Project Properties
From the command line:
qapp <path-to-project-root-directory>
From QA·Visual Studio:
- Helix QAC menu : Admin : Project Properties
From QA·Eclipse through the right-click menu on your chosen project:
- Helix QAC sub-menu : Open Helix QAC Project Properties
