Luke's Cpp Helper

Adds functionality to be help write c++ code.
This extension was developed for personal use and does not fully work in some scenarios, it is still in development.
Any feedback or suggestions is welcomed

Features

Describe specific features of your extension including screenshots of your extension in action. Image paths are relative to this README file.

1. Moving specific functions from header files to cpp files
2. Moving all function from header file to cpp file
3. Moving functions, generates new header file if it does not exist
4. Move content to a new header file
5. Creates common default implemented constructors
6. Generate constructor with all attributes as parameters
7. Create destructor
8. Add all includes
9. Add specific includes via context menu, or quick fix
10. Add missing virtual functions

All context menu items can be removed in the settings, by default they are all present.
Include/external folders can added in the config settings, to make includes correct.

Move All Function Implementations

Creates a new file if it does not already exist

Move Individual Function Implementation merges with existing namespaces

Move To Header File

Moves selection to a new header file

1. creates the file, adds #pragma once
2. if selection is embedded in namespaces creates those as well
3. adds include of new file to original

Create Basic Constructor

Works best when all symbols can be found, else uses best guess when not, for example std::string is unknown in this example

Create Default Constructors

Creates the basic default constructors and assignment operator

Create Destructors

Creates the default destructors

Add All missing Icludes

Adds all the missing includes. Works by looking at every word and seeing if its declaration is missing from the includes.
It contains hardcoded mappings of the standard library so similar named symbols might get resolve to the std lib instead of user defined.

Add Include for Specific Symbol

Adds specific include that is currently selected.
It contains hardcoded mappings of the standard library so similar named symbols might get resolve to the std lib instead of user defined.
Available as command or in context menu or as a quick fix.

Forward Declare of struct/class

Forward declaring is useful on large projects as it can reduce build time significantly.
As if person.h includes dog.h, we can image lots of other files like world.h including person.h implicitly including dog.h even if it does not use dog.
Thus if any change is made to dog.h a lot of build system will then rebuild person.h and world.h, but by forward declaring we can remove these dependencies.
When a type is only mention as a pointer/reference and without any dereferencing, it can be forward declared.
The steps are:

1. Move/delete existing include for type to cpp file if cpp exists.
2. Add in forward declaration. Does not handle spacing currently

Add Missing Functions

Click on the specific interface that a class extends, a quick fix will appear to add the missing virtual functions

Switch Header/Source

Switches between header file and source, but does it by only looking for a file in the same directory and same name. Will be faster than the C++ extension implementation since it does not scan the project.

Known Issues

1. Moving constructors does not correctly remove initializer list
2. Creating constructor of unknown types that are comma separate, for example std::string me, you; if std::string is not resolved.
