Title: Structure code completion.
Post by: cjbailey1 on November 29, 2007, 02:36:45 pm
At the risk of repeating this ad infinitum, I have a query about code completion and structures within C.

Firstly though, let me congratulate everyone on the program itself, Code::Blocks has been of so much use to me that it is one of my highest usage programs on Ubuntu, and has also made it onto my USB stick as part of a PortableApps install for windows.  I have been so impressed that I have also introduced several other people to Code::Blocks  :D

Anyway, down to the question:
 Code completion works for most things that I have used within Code::Blocks, however, it doesn't seem to function with structures properly.
If I define
Code
struct tempStruct
{
  int data1;
  int data2;
  int data3;
};
I get code completion if I type in:
Code
tempStruct.


However, if I define the following
Code
struct tempStruct myTemp;
then typing in
Code
myTemp.
results in no code completion.

I am running SVN version 4592 now, having upgraded the other day to see if this bug went away, but it is still there.

Is this something that I am doing wrong?
If not, then is there a version which has this working?
Again, if not, then is it something that is being worked on?

and another bit.

Code completion on a structure within a structure doesn't work either, the embedded structure is not accessible under any circumstances through code completion.

CodeCompletion plugin stills doesn't have some features. In c++ mode you could declare the structture like this:

struct test
{
  int i;
}

//delclaration
test myTest; //instead of using old c style (struct test myTest)

That will work!

Thanks for that, I'm running in C at the moment so I will just have to wait until it's implemented.  Just means I have to stop being lazy and code as I used to!

Is anybody know when this feature will supported by plug-in? I'm using svn 4639 and need so much this  :D
It impacts me. And I think I have to find another IDE :(( insted of my lovely C::B

Yiannis is the original author of Code Completion - I helped to optimize a large part of it but I'm afraid I don't have time to develop CB anymore. We need volunteers to help us code.

It's times like this where I really wish my coding skills were a lot better and that I didn't lack free time!

And is there actually anybody working on code completion?

That would be a qualified no. Yiannis is the only person who would be really comfortable making changes to the current version, but he is aware of its shortcomings and usually reluctant to make further fixes to it. However, he has nonetheless done so from time to time. I am casually tinkering with a completely new design as time allows -- as I imagine various other people are also doing. You can see some past discussion on the topic in the CodeCompletion redesign subforum.

the code completion plug looks work not nice. visual assitantX (one plug of visual studio ) work so nice. I suggest we can study it. (sorry for my poor english)

other:
  visual assitant , set code source  or header for auto completion so easy: you can add the code path direct to path list, add take effect. but this completion plug, menu -> edit->code completion, I can't find any path list for c++ parser. I can find one in menu->project->*****,（c＋＋ parser）， but make poor effect。

I'm still having this problem with svn build 4872. Sometimes code completion in C seems to work ramdomly, but mostly it doesn't.

What I've found is not actually random, but may look like random: if CB is opened because you double-clicked a project file, code completion won't work. If you open CB before and then open/drag/double-click a project everything works as expected.
