Yes, the code completion plugin is known to have unresolved issues.

Maybe so. It would be very helpful if you could post a sample of something that works incorrectly.


--- Quote ---I find the IDE really nice, but with this problems, I'm thinking I can't switch all my projects to it and have to wait until it's completely developed.

I've found that, even with the code completion plugin entirely disabled, Code::Blocks' benefits as an IDE far outweigh this small deficit.

Thanks for the fast answer.
It's hard to post an example, because I'm trying with big projects.
With small examples I can't reproduce some of the problems, but an easy bug that I've readen about(searching for help) and reproduced is in a new proyect write:
class AAA{
   int a;
};
int main(){
   AAA a;
   a. //and autocomplete doesn't work, even if you now change AAA a for AAA b.
}

Sure it's a good IDE, searching for features I need and reading a lot of good comments about it is that I came to it, and decided to download it.
But I'm really used that function arguments are always shown, and when code-completion didn't works, the function arguments arem't shown. It's specially useful for standard library functions.
I'm in the middle of a proyect, so I wanted to spent the time geting used to a new evironment only if it has a lot of benefits for me.

I'm not criticizing Code::Blocks, I'm very happy it has an active developement. It sees really nice. The Settings section is self-explaining and very nice and customizable. I think you will get an excellent and powerfull IDE.
Good Luck.

Now there's an interesting bug. Change "AAA a;" to "AAA b;" and put the opening curly brace for main() on a new line, and everything works. But I guess it's hard luck for people who like to put their curly braces on the same line as their headers.

At any rate, I've never run across this bug of showing some of the members of a class along with the members of another class. Also, function argument hints (call-tips) works fairly well (though if the auto-complete list is still open when a left-paren is typed, the call-tip won't show up until you delete the left-paren and retype it).
