Autocomplete C/C++ files

This extension will write the implementation of your C/C++ code without make you copy and paste like an idiot.

Features

the extension will generate the implementation file, if you run the command "write implementation file", or will generate the implementation for the functions at the end of the file, if you run the command "Parse main file" comments are skipped.

Usage

Open the command Palette (ctrl + shift + P) and select one of the following commands:

• Wirte Implementation File also accesibile via ctrl + shift + J
• Parse Main File also accesibile via ctrl + shift + L

Write implementation file:

with a normal C header file

with a C++ header file that contains a class

The command will read the header file and will print in a file that will prompt side by side the header file in the editor (see the column number setting in the settings menu).

Parse main file:

whith the main file

The command will read the focused file in the editor and will append the methods signatures at the end of the file.

Completions:

Now you can automatically add funcions signatures without run the commands!

For example, you are working in an existing file and you want to add a function signature now you can automatically do this just by typing the . character or the one you choose (See Extension Setting for more info)
