Can CB autocomplete function parameters from the prototype?

<< < (2/2)

kingfox:
to orefa: you are right. If I type the whole function name myself instead choosing from function list, when I press "(" and wait, no function's parameters is listed. Maybe it's a bug of code completion.

BTW: My environment: WinXP w/t SP2, the newest Code::Blocks nightly build w/t MinGW.

Erh...

So I don't get your point.

My point was that it *only* shows you, it doesn't offer you the chance to insert that information.

Which is why I also wrote: "Is there a way at this point to get it to insert that info for you?" for when I am writing the function definition.

Here's how to replicate what I'm talking about.

Step 1. Declare a class and a function:

struct Foo {
 void VeryLongFunctionName(const std::string& argumentNumber1, const std::string& argumentNumber2, const std::map<const std::string, const std::vector<const std::string> >);
}


Step 2. Define the function

Step 2a. You type: void Foo::VeryL

The autocomplete tooltip appears, offering you "VeryLongFunctionName" - a single keypress autocompletes it for you.

Step 2b. You type: (

The parameter list tooltip appears, looking like an autocomplete.


Now you have two options:
- Type in the argument list - which will cause the tooltip to dissapear,
- Scroll back to the function declaration in the struct and copy & paste.

I want a third option:

- Press tab to have the argument-list prototype inserted for you.
