Documentation

Generator pannel

• The extension is available on:

  • https://open-vsx.org/extension/DamienHubleur/cppclassgenerator
• Open the generator pannel with the command open C++ orthodox canonical class generator
• Choose a class name (like MySuperClass)
• You can add all the fields you want
  • For the type, precise std if needed. Examples: std::string or int
  • Choose a name without the _ (like mySuperInt)
  • It's not mandatory to add a default value to the field
• You can add classe's exceptions
  • Precise the name (like MySuperException)
  • Precise whatever you want in the what function
• If you fill it, you cann add the overload of the << operator (use the precised format to print some field in the message)
• You can generate debug message in constructor/destructor if the subject ask it
