# Problems view (C/C++)

Use the Problems view to display any errors encountered during a build.

Errors are passed up from your C++ compiler. The Problems view lists the error, filename and folder. If you select an error the associated file will open in a C/C++ Editor view, and the cursor and text highlighting will display the line where the error was encountered.
