I would like to be able to configure VA to give back only references to the classname, not all places the verbiage appears.
By that I mean:
class MyClass // Yes! This is the definition of MyClass, so counts as a reference...
{
public:
MyClass() { } // not here, this is a reference to its ctor (which would also be useful to find-refs on)
~MyClass() { } // nope, this is not a reference to MyClass either (but is a ref to its dtor, which is a separate and useful find-refs target)
int fun1();
void fun2();
double fun3();
};
int MyClass::fun1() { return 9; } // NOPE: not a ref to MyClass
void MyClass::fun2() { } // NOPE: not a ref to MyClass
double MyClass::fun3() { return 9.9; } // NOPE: not a ref to MyClass
void main()
{
MyClass c; // YESSSSssss!!! THIS IS A REF TO MyClass
c->fun1();
}
To my mind, just because the letters appear in the correct order doesn't make it a reference. void MyClass::function_name() { } either in declaration or in definition are decl/defn of a member - and only appear when asking after "MyClass::function_name", not after "MyClass".
Constructors and destructors likewise are completely different beasts - they are not references to the class anymore than "fun1" is.
This is a loooooong standing issue, and it seems like technology has advanced to the point that this can be handled? I hope!
Thanks for a great product.  |

In the Find References results window, press S (or use context menu) to remove most of the hits that you don't want to see.
Unfortunately, that will still leave the constructor/destructor in the results. I've opened a request to classify those separate from other references: case=87627

Well I'll be! A context menu in the find results window - I learn something new everytime I whine about something :)
That may be fine. Ctor/Dtor are less distracting than the many false hits that member definitions generate. |

| There are many context menus in VA -- in Methods in File list, Open File dialog, Find Symbol dialog, Rename dialog, HCB in VA View, MRU in VA View, Find References results, Snippet editor. |
