Sicne I found nothing else to complain, some smalelr things I've noted over the past years:
"Move to implementation" for static initializers.
// .h
class Foo
{
static int Value = 42;
};
the static definition only supports "Create implementation" which adds
int Foo::Value;
to the .cpp, but leaves the header unchanged.
Expected: "Move to implementation", changing the header to
static int Value;
and adding
int Foo::Value = 42;
to the .cpp
Format of includes
Right-clicking a symbol to automatically add the required header is one of the VAX killer features IMO. However, the format of the include (backslash vs. slash for path separators, quotes vs. caret for path)
I observe that you already evaluate incldues in the current file for the path separator.
1. Could you also evaluate those includes for caret vs. quote when another include in the same path is added?
2. Could you make the path separator default configurable?
3. Alternatively, could you include selected other files (e.g. stdafx.h if present) in the check for path separator, and maybe even for the quote vs. caret for specific folders?
4. Alternatively, default to carets when the file is "elsewhere" (for a community-pleasing definition of "elsewhere")
The problem is that in most cases for me, it's exactly the wrong way, I have to change quotes to carets, and backslash to slash. Any of above changes would be a big improvement for me.
Add Include with forward definitions
If the project contains a forward and a full definition, the "include <header>" often chooses the forward definition. It would be better to offer a choice of header in this case
"goto definition" IDL support
I understand that full IDL support is a bit much to ask for comparedly little benefit.
Still could one of your wizards spend maybe an hour to check what could be done?
The one feature I am truly missing and would *love* *love* *love* to see is "goto definition" for an interface being able to jump to the respective definition in the .idl file. (At the moment I get a screen-filling list of .tlh files from various #import statements in the project). I promise I won't ask for any other .idl support feature in the future.
Thanks guys, rock on!
static attributes, add include for symbol, and .id
