Posted - Nov 28 2006 : 07:30:53 AM Assume I have the following line:
MyClass myObject(parameters,...);
If I place the cursor on myObject and press Alt+G it jumps to the beginning of that line. This doesn't make much sense to me. Imho VA should take me to the declaration/definition of the constructor.
I'm using VC6, Win XP, no further add-ins.

Posted - Nov 29 2006 : 08:43:08 AM Have you tried the HCB? This should let you pick out the class constructors and then jump to them.
I have put in a feature request for this

Posted - Nov 29 2006 : 02:29:16 AM I understand, why it's working that way. Anyway, this behavior isn't of any help. Moreover, I have no option to jump to a constructor. Please correct me if I'm wrong. It would even be helpful if VA would jump to any constructor of the corresponding class, because constructors are always grouped in the code I work on. But, of course, your longer term plan sounds even better! So, please make it one of your most important longer term plans

Posted - Nov 28 2006 : 10:38:03 AM Currently this is by design, since myObject is a variable, and this is where the variable is defined. To jump to this specific constructor would require VA to understand which function this is, which requires matching the parameters, and dealing with default parameters. There are plans to enhance alt-g to handle these, but these are longer term plans.
