Finding references of constructors or destructors does not work and leads to finding usage of the class itself. It would be really nice to be able to find ctor/dtor references as for any other methods.

Thank you.

It is a great idea, but in C++ it isn't very obvious what you call a constructor/destructor call.
Finding new <classname> and delete <objecttype> would work, but if you create something via macro or function call or via template constructs (i.e. in a template class), the detection of constructor calling is much more tricky. Furthermore, objects can be destructed when there is no more reference to it (or by garbage collector in C#)

So in my opinion, if we implemented such a feature it would be patchy at best.

Thank for your reply,

Yes indeed, finding dynamic allocations is well done with the pattern you propose new <classname>. And finding every call occurrences is a big challenge when only relying on source code.

Let's forget about it :)
