Map source file suffix to language.
Usage
Extended Description
Helix QAC determines how to process a source file based on the language of the source file, such as 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. See Setting the File Extensions for Your Sources for the default values.
