Title: CodeCompletion in Codelite is very powerful.
Post by: henrya2 on October 28, 2009, 04:30:56 pm

CodeCompletion in Codelite is very powerful. It is just like Visual C++ 6 plus VisualAssitX.

Hope its feature can be ported to Code::Blocks.

I haven't tried too much in Codelite, but as I know, Codelite use the Ctags as a service to collect Tokens.
Also, Lex and Yacc based parser to collect locally tokens to do the "code completion" suggestion. Hopefully eranif ( author of Codelite) can help us a lot.  :D

But it seems that codelite can not parse template and do macro replacement too.

I think function name can be rendered  color in the codelite.
But In the codeblocks, it's not.

You are partially correct about the macro replacement, codelite has a limited capability in this area (similar to codeblocks I believe, it can only perform simple replacements of macros, but it can NOT evaluate if a macro is defined or not)

However, regarding the template, well you are wrong here. codelite can handle templates up to a certain degree.
I dont use templates much, since I think that templates are evil. But codelite *can* handle them (at least it can handle the ones I have wrote).

For example, codelite can not handle the STL templates, but it can handle the boost templates pretty well, plus some support for operator overloading (especially -> operator), for example:

Seem powerful than codeblock's codecompletion.

But In the codeblocks, it's not.

I want the function name can be rendered color too.Just don't know how to implement this.
for example.
I define a funciton "abc" and not save the file.So the parser didn't know this(abc) is a function name until I save the file.It seems that the parser must have the ability to parse the file in a real time(once I add any chars to the file, it (parser) must reparse the file).
