Autocomplete C/C++ function definitions from their respective declarations on the fly. Supporting class member functions, template functions and many more.
Installation
Launch VS Code Quick Open (Ctrl+P), paste the following command, and press enter.
Autocomplete function definitions from declared functions on the fly.
Features
To trigger the autocompletion, type a . on a new blank line in your .c/.cpp file.
Currently we are supporting:
member class functions
normal functions
template functions
nested member class functions
and many more...
Additional Features:
only functions which are not defined already are suggested
special handling of constructors to quickly have a member initializer list on hands
inlined / deleted / defaulted / pure virtual functions are not suggested
specify interval to automatically update symbols

C/C++ Extension
Extension Settings
This extension contributes the following settings:
definition-autocompletion.trigger_character: The character that triggers the completion suggestion on a new blank line. (default=.)
definition-autocompletion.update_index_on_save: Wether to update the symbol index table when saving the current text document. (default=true)
definition-autocompletion.update_index_on_change: Wether to update the symbol index table when changing the active text editor. (default=false)
definition-autocompletion.update_index_interval : The interval in seconds in which the symbol index table will update. Specify 0 to deactivate the interval. (default=20)
Known Issues
nested return Types are not extended by the outer layer Type
functions inside namespaces are not correctly completed when auto completing outside of this namespace
currently only works with workspaces
Future Plans
fix issues
