Idea for an additional feature for Find Reference: an option to find only assignments to the symbol. This would help finding locations where the value in question can change, esp. if there are few change locations vs. many access ones.

I don't know in what detail your symbol database already knows this, but in my amateurish understanding there are "obviously no assignment" cases, which could be excluded easily :


// finding references for m_foo:
m_foo.x
m_foo->y

void XXXX(Foo const &)
XXXX(m_foo)



"tricky" stuff where you might not know, like

void XXXX(Foo &)
XXXX(m_foo)


Would probably better be included.

A new case was opened for filtering of Find References results: case=78686.
case=78686 is implemented in build 2036.
See the context menu for filtering commands and keyboard shortcuts.

Are you aware that VA colours the results, showing assignments in a different colour, as specified via:

VA Options -> Advanced -> Display -> Highlight find results

and:

IDE tools menu -> Options -> Environment -> Fonts and Colors -> Display items = VA X Find Result

We are also considering a way of filtering the Find References Results list, perhaps to show only assignment lines:

case=2867
