Coplien Generator

Coplien Generator is a Visual Studio Code extension that helps C++ developers quickly generate the "Rule of Three" (also known as Coplien form) for a class.

It automatically inserts:

• Default constructor
• Copy constructor
• Copy assignment operator
• Destructor

This saves time and ensures consistency when writing C++ classes.

Features

• Insert the Coplien form for a given class at the cursor position.
• Prompt for the class name via input box.

Usage

1. Open a .hpp or .cpp file in VS Code.
2. Place your cursor where you want to insert the Coplien form.
3. Open the Command Palette (Ctrl+Shift+P or Cmd+Shift+P).
4. Run: Generate Coplien's class.
5. Enter your class name when prompted.

Example

If you enter MyClass, the extension generates:

class MyClass {
public:
    MyClass();
    MyClass(const MyClass& other);
    MyClass& operator=(const MyClass& other);
    ~MyClass();
private:
};
