I really appreciate the Find References command you added recently. ItG??s faster and better than using Find and Replace in Visual Studio for finding all occurrences of a symbol.

Another problem I often have is generating a list of all classes that derive from a base class. When a base class modification requires inspection of all derived classes, it can take a while to build this list manually. It seems like your symbol table probably contains class hierarchy information.

Would you consider adding a command to display:
1) Immediate derivation of a class
2) Concrete derivation
3) All derivations of a class.

For the moment if you use Find References on a virtual function in the base class VA will scan the derived classes, looking for instances of this function. This is not quite the same, but it should help.

To find immediate derivation of the class simply use Find References on the class name, this will find the class name when it is being listed as the parent class for the new classes. The only problem here is that these entries will be mixed in with all other entries.

I have put in a feature request for a command like this, I can see the appeal and how it would help:
