Title: just a question about code completion
Post by: mrpringle on August 18, 2006, 02:41:46 am
Hi,
I'm just wondering whether code completion will ever be able to work with wxwidgets, and the includes from mingw, or whether it is too difficult to implement.

Thanks

Well, it does already, see here:

What version (OS, C::B, wxWidets) are you using? (Please always include this information in your posts!)
With regards, Morten.

Have you enabled parsing of all include dirs?
Go to "Settings->Editor->Code-completion & symbols browser", switch to the "Parser" tab and make sure you have checked all three options.

i think we need hotkeys for "local" and "global" mode in order to switch fast without usage of the Settings dialogs (horror)

I don't think so. It's a setting that you set and never touch it again.
Either you want full symbols parsing (happy with code-completion) or local symbols only (not so happy ;)).

Anyway, we 're going to change the defaults to "enabled" for all three settings.
The defaults are the way they are because, back then, the parser didn't even run in a thread. Globals parsing was a big slowdown at the time. That's not the case anymore though ;).

Now we'll hear a lot of people saying "hey, CodeCompletion works, for the first time!" :lol:

That's exactly the point for changing the defaults, Takeshi :)

Another (big) question : does it work for local variables ?
For example, I have this code :
Code

  bool Database_Impl::ReplaceObject(GatoCad::DbObject& Old, GatoCad::DbObject& New)
  {
    // first checks if old object belongs to the given database
    if(Old.   <--- Here should pop-up with members of Old variable

In my build it doesn't pop up. Do I miss something ?

Ciao

Ok, if I've well understood, the local stuff is on the way... Am I right ?
Anyway it's really impressive for now.

If I can drop a little suggestion, one interesting thing would be the ability to exclude specfied headers from parsing.
There are some headers (in Boost:: in particular) that are filled with about useless stuffs with regard to code completion.

Hi,

In nightly build (Aug 20), "Edit->Show call tip (SHIFT+CTRL+SPACE)" does not work.
