| As we all know that forward declaration is better than adding inclusion whenever it's possible, so I suggest this feature to be implemented in VA. |

We are considering adding a refactoring command to do this at some point:
case=27045 |

I'm really missing this. Adding an include is handy, but encourages bad practice.
Being a fan of fast compile times, I usually pass on this feature and add a forward declaration myself.
You mention a case number, but I don't see how to look that up? |

You can ask us about the status of a case:
http://docs.wholetomato.com?W318
case=27045 is still on our list of things to do, not yet implemented. Seeing interest about a feature can help us prioritizing. |

I have a lot of container-like classes with lots of pointers.
I use forward declaration for them very often and this feature would be a huge time saver.
I would even go as far as "Add forward declaration for all unknown symbols" but that might be a little over the top. |

| An option to add all forward declarations is an interesting idea, I have put a note onto the case about this, to see what our developers make of it. |

| Either for all or single forward declaration it would be nice if it also added the full include in the corresponding .cpp file if there is one. |

A very interesting idea, this makes sense, I have put a note onto the case about this:
case=27045
An alternative approach is that we are considering a change to allow Add Include to run several times in a row, to add all required include lines to the cpp file:
case=27923 |
