Hello!

VAX have nice autocomletion feature:
Class* ptr = ...;
Class* ptr2 = <suggests ptr>


What about improving this feature work with pointers and references?
For example
Class* ptr = ...;
Class& ref = ...;
Class value = ...;

Class* ptr2 = <suggests ptr, &ref, &value>;
Class& ref2 = <suggests *ptr, ref, value>;
Class value2 = <suggests *ptr, ref, value>;


Thank you.

An interesting point. Are you seeing any suggestions at all, currently, for references and instances? Building on your example, I used the following test code, and the comments indicate the suggestions that I am seeing:

class testFelineSimpleClass
{
};

void testGeneralCode()
{
	testFelineSimpleClass *ptr = new testFelineSimpleClass;
	testFelineSimpleClass &ref;
	testFelineSimpleClass value;
	testFelineSimpleClass *ptr2;	// good suggestions
	testFelineSimpleClass &ref2;	// suggestion lists "ref, value"
	testFelineSimpleClass value2;	// suggestion lists "value"
}


Not as complete as you are thinking, but a solid start.

Yes, I am.
I see the same suggestions for ref2 and value2.
However, suggestions for ptr2 are ptr (ok) and value (wtf, it will not compile).

Which suggestion are you saying does not compile?

The code, as posted, does not compile, but that is because the references have not been initialized.

Not all suggestions are going to be what you want, it is VA attempting to help.

Suggestions for 'ptr2' are 'ptr' and 'value', but value cannot be assigned to pointer, so following this suggestion will generate invalid code.

This is a good point, I have put in a case for this, since the suggestion should be &value not value in this case:
