STL library find helper?

(1/1)

Squeller:
Hi,

I'm a newbie in terms of c++ programming and codeblocks. The problem is, I often do not know that a function, which I am searching for, already exists in library XYZ.

Does CodeBlocks support the user in any way? I think what I need is a kind of full text search through, hmmm, library function descriptions?

I hope you understand what I mean.

Thx...

Grab yourself an helpfile and use the help plugin (e.g. see here).
Codecompletion may also be your friend.

Regards
raph

Tip: STRG+rightclick

You might want to make yourself familiar with the SymTab plugin, too (part of the contrib plugins). It's purpose is to use the "nm" tool to query object files / libraries for exports of certain functions.
With regards, Morten.

I like the new way, I just found AstroGrep today at http://sourceforge.net/projects/astrogrep/

It works only on windows right now, it is trying to use mono under Linux. It is written in C#.

Thanks people- I'm sorting out if the cpp reference help + help plugin may be enough for me.
