# Intel® C/C++ Error Parser

The Intel® C/C++ Error Parser (selected by default) lets you track compile-time errors in Eclipse*/CDT. To confirm that the Intel® C/C++ Error Parser is active:

1. Select the hello_world project in the Project Explorer view.
2. Select Project > Properties.
3. In the Properties dialog box, select C/C++ Build > Settings.
4. Click the Error Parsers tab. Make sure that Intel C/C++ Error Parser is checked, and CDT Visual C Error Parser or Microsoft Visual C Error Parser are not checked.
5. Click OK to update your choices, if you have changed any settings.

## Using the Intel® C/C++ Error Parser

The Intel® C/C++ Error Parser automatically detects and manages the diagnostics generated by the Intel® C++ Compiler Classic.

If an error occurring in the hello_world.c program is compiled, for example, `#include <xstdio.h>`, the error is reported in the Problems view next to an error marker.

You can double-click on each error in the Problems view to highlight the source line, which causes the error in the Editor view.

Correct the error, then rebuild your project.
