Suppose a C++ method overrides a base class's method, then how to jump to the definition/declaration of the base method from the source of method? (e.g. pop up a window to show a list of base methods that it overrides)

Suppose some C++ class "SubClass" extends class "BaseClass", then when debugging the program in VS2017 and break at some break point in some member function of either classes, in the "Local" pane of VS2017, the "Type" column of "this" should show "SubClass" (i.e. the real type, not some base type) if "this" is an instance of "SubClass".
But sometimes for some complex application this doesn't work and it show the name of the base class for the type of "this" if the break point is in some method of the base class.
When will this happen and how can it be fixed?
Appendix:
One example is to debug clang 6.0 in VS2017 and set a breakpoint in the method
void MCObjectStreamer::EmitFrames(MCAsmBackend *MAB)
in MCObjectStreamer.cpp. When break, the type of "this" is shown as "llvm:MCObjectStreamer", but "this" is indeed some sub class "X86WinCOFFStreamer". Go one step upstream in the call stack and in the method (of the sub class X86WinCOFFStreamer)
void X86WinCOFFStreamer::FinishImpl()
"this" is shown rightly as "X86WinCOFFStreamer"
How to Skip class from unittest in visual studio 2019
ClienteRepositoryTests extends RepositoryTestBase.
RepositoryTestBase is a base for all unittests. I'd like that RepositoryTest dont show in Test Explorer
Make the base class abstract.
Both XUnit and MSTest (and probably other frameworks) use reflection to find correctly decorated methods (or types) and have to instantiate them in order to run the tests. If your class is abstract, the method will still exist on the derived type (still decorated as a test method), but the base class cannot be instantiated.
In Visual Studio 2013 when I go to Class View, then search for a class, then expand "Derived Types" folder it shows me only the classes derived from this class in the current project, but not the whole solution. Is there a way to find all the derived classes in the solution in Visual Studio 2013 or perhaps some plugins? The language in focus is C++ (unmanaged).
I have the same question. So far I am making do with a regular expression that matches part of the declaration of the derived class:
:\s*(public|private|protected)?\s+ClassName
For example when searching for all classes derived from class A in the following:
class B : public A {};
The regular expression tries to match the : public A. Note this will not work when A is not first base class in the list of base classes. Also does not work for indirect descendants.
Is there any way for Visual Studio IDE to automatically create (autocomplete) the bare codebase for a new class' parent class' virtual methods (ie. all parent members are virtual rval foo(x) = 0;) without using a class wizard?
i have been going through the source code of an application which i downloaded from sourceforge.
i have a certain method which requires a pointer to an abstract class as a parameter.
class A;//abstract class
B::method(A *)
i cant create an object of A since its abstract.
so i can only pass pointer to object of child class of A in the B::method().
Now the problem is there are many classes in the source.
my problem is that how do i know which are the child classes of a parent class in visual studio 2010?
i have tried "find all references" for a virtual method of the abstract class (because its definition should be in the child class!) but without luck.
hope i could make my question clear!
Maybe "Solution Explorer" -> Your project -> Right Click Menu -> "Class Diagram" is what you're looking for ?
Another suggestion - try looking for " : public YourBaseClassName" strings and then "unwind" the inheritance. The usability certainly depends on the depth of your hierarchy. If there are multiple intermediate classes or multiple inheritance, then... Maybe, look at Eclipse+CDT ?
