Description Steven R. Shaw CLA 2006-10-24 11:05:58 EDT 
There are a few default build configurations available for the user "Debug" / "Release". They are able to add new ones on a per project basis.  However, there is no way to easily create new default configurations that would be used across multiple projects.  Currently the only way to do this is to programmatically add new extension for org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.buildDefinitions and define a configuration there.

If this were exposed via the CDT preferences, it would make this much more user accessible.  

An example might be "Debug Optimized".  If this was a common need, user need to duplicate this in each project or use the programatic option above.

I've been looking for a way to add to all my build configurations the -std=c99 flag and do not seem to be able. I think this falls under this bug - or should I open a new one ?
