I have two visual studio installion (vc9 and vc10).
In eclipse when i use cdt to build c++ projects, don't get any linker options to set.

The Tool Chain Editor settings are follow:
Current toolchain : Microsoft Visual C++
Current builder   : CDT Internal Builder
Used Tools
C Compiler (cl)
C++ Compiler (cl)
Resource Compiler (rc)
Linker (link)
Library Manager (lib)

But "Settings" option, I don't see any settings for Linker (link) but do see options for 
C Compiler (cl)
C++ Compiler (cl)
Resource Compiler (rc)
Library Manager (lib)



Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
0. Install two version of visual studio and install CDT in eclipse
1. Create a new C++ project in eclipse
2. Go to Properties->C/C++ Build->Tool Chain Editor and set the Current tool chain:Microsoft Visual C++
Current Builder : CDT Internal Builder
3. Go to Properties->C/C++ Build->Settings and see if there is any linker setting in Tool Settings

The .cproject does indeed show linker but the "Tool Settings" UI is not displaying it. 
<tool id="org.eclipse.cdt.msvc.link.2103065356" name="Linker (link)" superClass="org.eclipse.cdt.msvc.link">
<option id="org.eclipse.cdt.msvc.link.option.debug.1555605322" name="Generate Debug Info (/debug)" superClass="org.eclipse.cdt.msvc.link.option.debug" value="true" valueType="boolean"/>
</tool>
