Hi,
I don't know if this is very standardized, so this may not be a very valid question/request.
It is common at our company to create H/IPP file pairs for template classes. The IPP extension represents a header, but at the same time it's the implementation file for a template class. For example:
SomeClass.h:
#ifndef SOMECLASS_H
#define SOMECLASS_H
class SomeClass
{
};
#include "SomeClass.ipp"
#endif // SOMECLASS_H
As you can see, we include the IPP at the bottom, which is how we are able to put the implementations for the template class member functions in a different file.
Anyway, when I press ALT+O on the H file, it doesn't find the IPP file and go to that. I realize that IPP may not be supported by ALT+O, but that's where I have a pretty cool suggestion:
Add an option to the VAX menu that allows you to list any given number of extensions to search for when ALT+O is pressed. For example, for H files we might want to specify in the options that it should try to find the first occurrence of *.CPP, *.IPP, *.C, etc.
Let me know if this is just a bug (meaning it was always intended for VAX to find IPP files using ALT+O) or if this just isn't a supported feature. If it's not a supported feature, then the above paragraph is my feature request.
ALT+O and *.IPP files
