CPPComment is a Visual Studio Extension that generates comments based on Microsoft XML Docs, inspired by the CPPTripleSlash Extension.
I noticed that CPPTripleSlash and its alternative CppXmlComment both do not provide auto detection for parameters and class names, which I personally would like to include within my comments.
Therefor, to differentiate from these other two extensions, it does the following:
- Detects Class Names
- Detects if function is a Constructor
- Detects parameters and their types
- Detects return type
- Detects return type is a pointer
- Generates comment based on this information
- Move cursor one line above the function you want to comment
- Type
/// - Voila, your comment has been generated :)
Download the .vsix file from the release page or download it from the Visual Studio Marketplace, double click on it, and install.
This extension has been developed using Visual Studio 2017. I needed this for my other projects, so I didn't pay much attention to code standards and conventions, basically this is my first extension so it has alot of trial and error code within it and I will not guarrantee that it will always work. I might change that in the future, if requested, or when I feel like it.
- Write Tests?
- Add comments (ironic, isn't it?)
- Make it readable.
