MicrosoftHello! Curious to learn more about what would you like to see in the C++ support in Visual Studio. My team is certainly very busy improving the C++ experience release after release. For a summary of VS 2019 improvements, check out this blogpost: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/intellisense-improvements-in-visual-studio-2019/
What would you like to see in VS 2022? It would be great if you open tickets in https://developercommunity2.visualstudio.com/search?space=62 and post the links back here - I can help route them to the right folks in my team. Also folks reading this, can upvote your tickets too.
I just tested the new Visual Studio version which is great and it’s only a few features I‘m missing:
- create new file feature from Visual Assist(create a new file in the directory of the currently selected file with templates depending on the file type)
- some refactoring options are missing, especially „add include“(which I use extremely often)
- auto fix options
I will reply with more features / check your issues when I identify more missing features
- marianluparuWonderful! Thanks for the suggestions and keep the feedback coming. Add include should already be supported in Visual Studio https://devblogs.microsoft.com/cppblog/c-productivity-improvements-in-visual-studio-2019-preview-2/#AddMissingInclude - maybe there are some scenarios we don't currently cover? It would be great if you can share a more detailed set of steps.
- Oh, that’s great! I will test it, for some reason I didn’t see that option. The „list functions“ function from Visual Assist(alt M) is another feature I‘m missing
- One last addition regarding the "Add include" feature : It would be great to also provide the option to add a forward declaration instead(For pointers/references), in a lot of cases this is required instead of the include(to reach faster build times and/or prevent cyclic includes)
