I'm using Code::Blocks 13.12, and it seems call tip and autocomplete is not working for variables declared with C++11 auto type?
Example with explicit type:
MyType* thing = new MyType;
thing-> //after typing "->", a list of call tips pops up (usually)
Example with auto type:
auto thing = new MyType;
thing-> //no call tips pops up after typing "->"
Are there any plans to implement call tip and autocomplete for auto types? Or is there some plugin or setting which allow this alrady?
From what I can tell, several IDEs already support this (Visual Studio 201x, Eclipse, Qt Creator 2.7.0, KDevelop 4.5.1). See this question on stackoverflow:

I think the auto feature is a very useful addition for several reasons, and I've already replaced a bunch of explicit type names with auto in my project. But it's a pity that the call tips don't show up there anymore.
Code::Blocks is my favorite IDE and I don't want to change to any of the other's I mentioned above. If there is some indication that call tips and autocomplete for auto types is going to be fixed soon-ish, I'll just hold out without call tips until then :)
