As we all know, in debugging mode, Visual C++ support "Run to Cursor" feature, so, I'm curious to know whether it support simillar feature "Skip cursor". In other words, my app just skip the line of code.
Anybody can help me?
PS: I'm using Visual C++ 2010.
Yes you can do this easily.
Once you're at a breakpoint, you can right-click on a line of code just like you do to "Run to cursor", but instead, choose "Set next statement".
It's explained on MSDN here.
You can run to the previous line, and then skip over it using 'set next statement'.
I do not know such feature. But i think you can:
comment current line of code
use "Apply code change".
"step over"

I NEED to turn off auto-indent on Eclipse for C/C++ coding. It DRIVES ME NUTS to be fighting with the editor constantly for the position of the text cursor.
This is a common question, but the standard answer does not appear to work on Kepler with C/C++ extentions, so perhaps it got "unfixed"???
The standard answer I saw was to go to preferences->C/C++->editor->typing and uncheck "automatically indent" new lines and braces.
The behavior is that entering new line causes the cursor to be aligned on the new line with the block above. I want newline to end up flush left.
Thanks,
Scott Franco
Try per project settings.
C/C++ General > Formatter > Edit...
Indentation Tab
Uncheck everything.
or
Eclipse wide
Window > Preferences
C/C++ > Code Style > Formatter > Edit...
Indentation Tab
Uncheck everything.
You can't unless you join the dev team http://www.eclipse.org/cdt/developers.php and make the change yourself.
The answer is: its a feature, notgonna fix it. It happens even if you call up a plain text editor. Eclipse has bugs filed against it by others that turned into long arguments. The developers went google on it [1]
[1] "went google": Our way or the highway. We are smart, you don't work at google, so obviously you are not. Next.
I have a simple question (that I don't seem to be able to answer),
I am a new VIM/Linux user, and since I do c++ development I decided to install the C.VIM plugin to speed up my development time. The problem is, it says in the plug-in (c++) menu that to do a switch statement I have to write \ss (for me the leader is ",", so it's ",ss") but when I do this it just puts me in insert mode and nothing happens. I know the plugin is well set up because when I open a new c++ file it generates a comment box where I can give the description of the program.
I would love it if I would be able to use the shortcuts, because using the menu just losses the point of using vim.
Oh and please, just keep in mind that I am new to vim, I still have hard time figuring out what means <c-r> + TAB (which is, if i'm not mistaking "ctrl-r <tab>"), so if you could just try to explain the solution clearly without to much jargon I would appreciate it. (while i'm here, does anyone know of a good vim tutorial where I could understands all of the vim jargon, thanks!)
I appreciate all the help.
I use this cheat sheet:
http://www.worldtimzone.com/res/vi.html
Please add the below line to .vimrc and
helptags ~/.vim/bundle/c.vim/doc
Note: I have pointed to my c.vim doc and I use bundle, it may differ for you :)
The reason why I'm asking this, is because I'm coding in C++, in putty/ssh and I like the fact that I can code from pretty much everywhere without having to install anything.
So I'd like to have something that could help me debugging (viewing LIVE value of a variable, breakpoints, etc)
If you think that there's no such thing in this world, is there any good technique I could use to debug in command line?
Thanks
I've used gdb for command line debugging in the past with success:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gdb/
A decent tutorial can be found at:
http://www.cs.cmu.edu/~gilpin/tutorial/
vimgdb will give what you want. I've used it for about one year. The most interesting feature is:
Hightlight current line
List item
Can show disassembly code
Step into, Step over
inspect variables, memory address
Run all the underlying gdb command is possible
And, of course, set breakpoint, conditional breakpoint etc.
Highly customizable by vim key mapping and scripts.
Actually I use checkinstall to make an rpm for it, and installed it everywhere when I need to debug on the box.
I think it have the most important features I want from a visual debugger.
Have you tried gdb ? That's pretty much the command line debugger, but it's no vim plugin.
You have a script to do that: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=1954
In my humble opinion, Vim is not designed to do such things and it is a bad idea to do so.
Please guide me, how do you enable autocomplete functionality in VS C++? By auto-complete, I mean, when I put a dot after control name, the editor should display a dropdown menu to select from.
Thank you.
Start writing, then just press CTRL+SPACE and there you go ...
When you press ctrl + space, look in the Status bar below.. It will display a message saying IntelliSense is unavailable for C++ / CLI, if it doesn't support it.. The message will look like this -
It's enabled by default. Probably you just tried on an expression that failed to autocomplete.
In case you deactivated it somehow... you can enable it in the Visual Studio settings. Just browse to the Editor settings, then to the subgroup C/C++ and activate it again... should read something like "List members automatically" or "Auto list members" (sorry, I have the german Visual Studio).
Upon typing something like std::cout. a dropwdownlist with possible completitions should pop up.
All the answers were missing Ctrl-J (which enables and disables autocomplete).
Goto => Tools >> Options >> Text Editor >> C/C++ >> Advanced >>
IntelliSense
Change => Member List Commit Aggressive to True
VS is kinda funny about C++ and IntelliSense. There are times it won't notice that it's supposed to be popping up something. This is due in no small part to the complexity of the language, and all the compiling (or at least parsing) that'd need to go on in order to make it better.
If it doesn't work for you at all, and it used to, and you've checked the VS options, maybe this can help.
Have you tried Visual Assist X ? Sort of lights up the VS editor.
I came across over the following post:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/raulperez/archive/2010/03/19/c-intellisense-options.aspx
The issue is that the "IntelliSense" option in c++ is disabled.
This link explains about the IntelliSense database configuration and options.
After enabling the database you must close and reopen visual studio
for autocomplete use 'ctrl'+'space'
'ctrl'+'space' will open C/C++ autocomplete.
Include the class that you are using Within your text file, then intelliSense will know where to look when you type within your text file. This works for me.
So it’s important to check the Unreal API to see where the included class is so that you have the path to type on the include line. Hope that makes sense.
It's enabled by default. Probably you just tried on an expression that failed to autocomplete.
In case you deactivated it somehow... you can enable it in the Visual Studio settings.
Step 1: Go to settings
Step 2: Search for complete and enable all the auto complete functions
I believe that show help
'Smart Tabs' concept allows to automatically insert tab character for block indentation and space characters for in-block formatting. It's described here. Unfortunately, Visual Studio's 'smart tabs' option in text editor settings just indents text on enter press. Same name, completely different and near useless thing :). So, maybe someone knows of a visual studio addin that can change how 'tab' key work so it will insert tab characters and space characters according to rules mentioned above? Any hints are welcome.
Update: I need it for C++. According to comments, ReSharper can do something like this, but only for Basic and C#.
I have mapped the tab-button to Edit.FormatSelection in Visual Studio to achieve this and it works very well for me. I have also remapped the normal functionality of tab so that I still can access them (Edit.InsertTab and Edit.TabLeft).
If no one comes up with an "as-you-type" utility, then Astyle with its convert-tabs and indent=tab options will reformat code after-the-fact.
ReSharper does this pretty well, and is highly configurable.
Have you looked at Visual Assist?
It's been a while since I used it (back on VC++ 6.0!), and I can't see a mention of "Smart Tabs" on the home page, but it might be there somewhere.
