Hi all, for a current project where we have old compilers not supporting C++11's auto keyword it would be cool to have a refactor helper for it, that changes auto to the called methods explicit result.
Having
auto x = myclass->mymethod(); // mymethod returns shared_ptr<MyOtherType>
shall refactor to
shared_ptr<MyOtherType> x = myclass->mymethod();
Any change to add this in one of the next releases?
Unfortunately this is something we are very unlikely to do. This is a very specific situation, and not one that is going to help many of our users.
If you place the caret into the variable name then VA will show the full type in the Definition field, which is normally shown at the top of the editor window. You can then copy the type from here and paste it into the editor, to make these conversions quite a lot quicker and easier.
