This page describes the C-style function suggestions – a mechanism suggesting compatible C-style functions for struct and typedef variables.<\/p>\n

Overview<\/h2>\n

Starting from VisualGDB 5.6, using the “.” or “->” operator on struct and typedef variables automatically suggests the functions that take the corresponding type as an argument: \"\"<\/a>Selecting such function with “tab” or “enter” will automatically convert the “.” or “->” operator into a C-style function call:\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Customizing the View<\/h2>\n

VisualGDB shows the suggested C-style functions as if they were coming from a base C++ class. As long as the “Show non-inherited members first” option (1)<\/strong> is enabled, they will appear after the actual fields. You can also explicitly restrict the suggestion list to the fields (2)<\/strong>, or disable C-style function suggestion altogether via\u00a0Tools->Options->Text Editor->C\/C++(VisualGDB)->Advanced->Code Completion->Treat C functions as methods<\/span><\/strong>. \"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Supported Types<\/h2>\n

C-style function suggestions compute the actual type of the expression to the left of the “.” or “-> “operator. Hence, they will work with:<\/p>\n
