I am using Visual Studio and an external library that is commented in doxygen-style. Is there any way to display doxygen documentation in the editor tooltip like DocXML?
The VS plugin Visual Assist shows doxygen comments. From what I can see, it doesn't actually process them, but it shows doxygen comments (in their raw form) nevertheless.
There's a trial at their website.
Be warned, though. I have seen very few C++ programmers who tried it for a few days and were not begging their managers to buy it for them afterwards.
Not that I am aware of (though I'd love to hear if there is a solution, as doxygen format is much more readable than XML).
A "workaround" I can suggest is that my AtomineerUtils add-in can bulk-convert Doxygen format comments into DocXML, which is then picked up and used for Intellisense tooltips. (And Doxygen is able to read DocXml, so you keep most of that functionality too). Currently the conversion is a fairly simple one, but I'm working on some improvements at the moment that should make it much more flexible with respect to input comment formats.

Does anyone know of a free tool, similar to what is built into Visual Studio 2010 for managed code, that can do analysis of unmanaged, MFC C++ code and give metrics (lines of code, dependency or coupling, etc)?
I've been searching on Google for awhile, but really haven't been able to find anything that works. Thanks a ton!
Source Monitor is a good free tool tool for code metrics such as LoC and complexity and also produces kiviat graphs. But it does not have any depedency or coupling metrics.
Our SourceMeter tool can analyze your Visual C++ project and provide you all the information you asked for: metrics (lines of code, dependency, coupling, 60+ metrics altogether). The results are in standard CSV files, which you can easily open in e.g. spreadsheet editors.
I am not sure about free tool but one paid tool which is most comprehensive is IBM's Logiscope http://www-01.ibm.com/software/awdtools/logiscope/
Not free but QA-CPP does metrics like cyclomatic complexity and static analysis.
It's fairly complex to set up but they are pretty good on product support and regularly put out updates.

My question is similar to Adding images into source code, but my environment is Visual C++. Is there some way how to add images as a part of comments and make the IDE to display them (either inline, or by clicking on them or performing some action on them)?
What I was doing until now was either to provide an URL to an external .PNG or .SVG file placed in the SVN using its URL, or by creating an ASCII art, but it somehow feels strange to me in the age of GUIs and rich documents everywhere be still limited to this. If there is no better solution, are there at least some pluings to make this more streamlined (e.g. by creating the SVN document for me and placing a link to it in the comment, or by helping me in the ASCII art drawing)?
There is a sample add in that appears to be doing this. I haven't run it.
Here's the link. Source code is available.

My research group uses a Wordpress blog. Frequently I want post snippets or even entire short programs I've been working on to it, with most of my code being written in C/C++ or scripting languages (Bash, TCL, etc).
I figure that there have to be some good extensions to Wordpress to colorify code since so many people use it. I'm looking for something similar to StackOverflow's colorizing system, though I realize it may not be quite as robust!
Can you point me to some of your favorites/the ones you think are most reliable?
Thanks in advance!
This was the first I investigated when I started a Wordpress blog. You can use Wordpress' sourcecode shortcode, as exemplified here. It requires JavaScript on the client side (otherwise it renders as just preformatted text).
Cheers & hth.,
GeSHi is a good backend for highlighting lots of different languages. There are Wordpress plugins that support it, but I don't have a specific recommendation. (I use GeSHi for our wiki.)
You might also consider Pastie or Gist as a way to share snippets.

I am porting a large, messy, 10 year old cold base in C++ from Metrowerks on OS X to XCode. There are so many files and all the other people that touched this over the years are gone. Nobody know what files are actually needed and which are just cruft.
Is there any tool that I could run and have it produce a list of what files are ACTUALLY needed?
You could run doxygen on your project and have it generate inheritance diagrams for your classes. It can also generate caller graphs to help you find dead code.
You can try searching this static code analyzer list in Wikipedia. The ones that I've seen in actions would be cppdep and Include Hierarchy Viewer, although the first one is a little rough and the latter is a Windows analyzer only for the include tree. Also that still might not give you all the info if the dependencies are not explicit.
Edit: Also, the following StackOverflow search query seems to have results that might interest you:

I have found quite good stuff here. If you know other sites that have some good code for Qt library (some additional codes, good examples, except the Qt standard examples, of course), please share with us.
Also please look at Qt Solutions
For plotting and technical purpose, there are Qwt and QtiPlot. There may be others, but often a self-made widget is faster, smaller, and better than what someone could find on the net (except qwt and qtiplot of course).
If you're looking to extend Qt a bit more, look into KDE. It is also (experimentally) available on Windows. It adds quite a bit of functionality, but also a lot of dependencies.
