Parallel project and test field problems

Ceniza: Why do you need, something that looks like a project, but it is not?
Why would someone need a single file compilation in the real world, not when he is learning C/C++ and copy/pasting some code from a book?
Projects in C::B are quite easy to setup (when you learn how to do it), so I see no problem here.

I have done that many times. I am working in a decently sized project, but I also like to try some concepts for which a project is too much. The big project is being developed in Visual Studio for convenience, but I like to prototype things with Code::Blocks. It's annoying not being able to debug single files, and creating a project for them is just too much (for a single file). If I want to try something in a single file, but I need to link against some libraries, then I have to create a whole project (modifying the global compiler options is evil).
Of course, if you are learning the language, it is a lot more practical being able to do things that way.
As a matter of fact, something I don't like of Visual C++ is not being able to compile single files (and the fact the IDE is not good enough by itself).
