Description davidc538 2010-05-26 23:10:07 UTC 
Netbeans is treating my c++(using extension .cpp) files as c files. I selected c++ when i created the project. Under each files properties in all configurations the build tool is set to c++ compiler. It wasn't always doing this to me so the problem might not be easily recreatable.

What is file icon of *.cpp files in project view?
Also look at Tools->Options->C/C++->Other

> I selected c++ when i created the project.
What do you mean?
Provide steps to repeat.

user answer:
The icon was just a c and not cc for .cpp files. Also I haven't found a way to repeat it just yet but I'm pretty sure it happened because I accidentally went File > New File > C source file (When I should have used c++) and for the extension I changed it to .cpp because I didn't realize my mistake. after that netbeans always treated .cpp files as C language files until I uninstalled and reinstalled it. Let me know if you need anything else.
