I want to test out a function in a separate file with it's own main(). What's the best way to do this? I added a new file to the project and can build it but how do I run it? Whenever I click the green arrow the non-testing main.cpp is run.

oBFusCATed:
You have to use two separate projects or have to use two targets.

How do you have two targets?

oBFusCATed:
Have you tried Project -> Properties -> Build targets?

Thanks that works. Out of curiosity when I tried building both files it fails because "multiple definitions of main". Why is that a problem, as long as they are in different files?
