Alt-G is great to find what header a symbol is defined so you can know what header to include. If VA-X knows this info, it could automatically add the correct #include on request. I wouldn't care if it didn't get it right 100% of the time.

Problem here is:
MAX_PATH is defined in windef.h
windef.h is included in windows.h
Same goes for several functions. How long will you wait for VAX finding the correct #include buried down in the various headers?

Stefan,
As Frank says "I wouldn't care if it didn't get it right 100% of the time". For example NetBeans in case of ambiguity presents a list of possible choices. It could work at least for simple cases, for example for classes declared in the current project. |

this has been asked before, and WT's comment was that if VAX inserts the wrong header, even occasionally, this is very bad!
however, offering a suggestion, or a list of possible headers sounds good to me  so long as it is the user to says which header to include, rather than VAX, it shouldnt be a problem.

Another problem will be where to insert this line. At the begining of the file? After a file comment header if it exists? After the sometimes used "#ifdef _THISFILEINCLUDEDALREADY_" line? After any already existing "#include"? What about dependencies in existing included files?
I think it might be the best to just put the line in the clipboard so the user can paste it where ever appropriate. |
