Finding Symbols in your Project

Source Insight provides many ways to locate symbols in your projects. This is one of Source Insight's important strengths.

While you edit your files, Source Insight scans your project files and determines where all the declarations are. This allows you to locate classes, methods, functions, etc., without having to compile your files.

Once a file has been added to your project, the names and locations of the symbols in it are stored in the project's symbol database. The symbol definition can be found quickly using the following techniques. Remember, you can right-click on many objects in Source Insight to bring up the context menu. Most of the following commands are on the right-click context menu.
