Title: Automatic refreshing of Symbols Browser
Post by: Locus on November 27, 2007, 06:20:15 pm

Hi.

This is a feature which would make me consider C::B as good as MS Visual Studio.
Automatic refreshing of symbols while writing the code. I would say this is a critical thing for comfort of programming. Not to have to click "Re-parse now" anymore...

Well, in M$VC, this isn't always working perfectly, but this is why I've chosen it.

(at least my old version of C::B from August 16 2007 doesn't support it)

So, want you to become world's top-level IDE ?  :wink: :wink:

Files are being re-parsed when you save them. So probably you just need to save "more often". It would be technically possible to re-parse (within the current context) on each key-stroke but that doesn't make sense... at least to me. Most of the times it doesn't make sense to re-parse at all so it just uses a lot computing power for a very little benfit.

Actually, reparsing while saving, that's enough! I don't ask more!
I didn't know it is working this way.
