It would be nice if we have a command to recreate project created from binary file. In my scenario, I am using project created from binary file to enable comfortable debugging. However, my binary files change daily, and not always by me. Sometimes these changes include moving source code files and folder. Or using new library. When this happen, my project becomes unusable, since it points to invalid file locations, or do not point to a new library used in executable, and then I have to create a new project and apply my settings. This becomes annoyance when you have to do it many times daily.
Try the following: right click on project ->Code Assistance ->Configure Code Assistance... ->Advanced mode Use Explore Executable or library File choice Does it work for you?
No, it is not. This does not remove source files which are not used anymore in executable, and will not add new ones. I believe the method you suggest will only update include paths, but it will not update the list of files in project. What I have in mind is not just updating include paths, but also updating the list of C/CPP files and libraries used to build the executable, by removing those not used anymore and adding new ones.
