Why the console view does not display all the warning and error messages by default?

By default, only 500 lines are displayed in the console window. In order to change the number of lines displayed in the console window, follow these steps:

  1. From the IDE menu bar, select Window > Preferences .

    The Preferences dialog box appears.

  2. Select C/C++ > Build Console from the left panel.

    The Build Console Settings page appears.

  3. Change the Limit console output (#lines) to the number of lines that you would like to appear in the console window. By default, it is set to 500.
  4. Click Apply .
  5. Click OK .

The number of lines displayed in the console window changes, as specified.

Note: Since this is a global setting, the console window will display the specified number of lines for every project that is compiled within the workspace.
