Hi,
Is there something like "Find implementations" for a given interface (c++)?
it would be great to have something like that
thanks
Chris |

| If you use alt+shift+g on a virtual method or class, you can see all implementations of it under "derived symbols". Is that what you mean? |

Hi,
no, I was talking about the class itself.
Let's say you have some interface (abstract class) X with implementation classes A,B,C
Is there a way to select X and ask Visual Assist to find all implementations? (A,B,C)
Thanks |

| That works too, if you put the cursor on X and press alt+shift+g, you can see all of them under "derived classes" |

Another option, if you are looking for overloaded functions in derived classes, is to run Find References on the virtual function in the base class:
https://docs.wholetomato.com/default.asp?W189
then in the Find References Results window Right click the results, and make sure you turn On
Display inherited and overridden references |

Thanks.
But is still not clear to me: does or doesn't VA have the concept of interface vs implementation?
E.g. the abstractness of an interface structure versus
the concreteness of an implementation structure (corresponding to that interface)
I know, this is c++, there is no direct/pure 'interface' concept like in java.
But from an oop point of view, this exists. A c++ class with only pure virtual functions is an interface.
And a concrete class has only non-abstract (concrete) methods.
A class-level match/association between these is what I am looking for.
Thanks

No, sadly VA does not try to make this distinction.
The idea is interesting, but personally, I have rarely come across code that is this pure. I am used to seeing classes with a mixture of abstract and concrete methods. |
