[cfe-dev] [LLVMdev] clang code-completion question

[Dmitry Frank]

Hello, Nick!

Thank you for your reply.

Regarding to pointers to functions: look at this code:

static void _some_func(int a, int b, int c)
{
   //-- do something
}

typedef void (*T_pMyFunc) (int a, int b, int c);

typedef struct {
   T_pMyFunc p_my_func;
} T_MyStruct;

int main(void)
{
   T_MyStruct my_struct = {
      .p_my_func = _some_func,
   };

   _some_func/*cursor is here. I see function signature: int a, int b, int
c. Everything is great*/

   my_struct./*cursor is here. I see only member T_pMyFunc p_my_func, but
there's no function signature. There would be even greater if clang could
handle this*/

}

Hope I explained this clear.

As to second one (completion inside structure initializer), thanks for the
suggestion, I filed it as you suggested:
