All Known Subinterfaces:
CppApplication, CppLibrary, CppTestSuite
@Incubating public interface CppComponent extends SoftwareComponent
Configuration for a C++ component, such as a library or executable, defining the source files and private header directories that make up the component. Private headers are those that are visible only to the source files of the component.

A C++ component is composed of some C++ source files that are compiled and then linked into some binary.

An instance of this type is added as a project extension by the C++ plugins.
