[Dev-C++] Newbie's first question (comparison with MVC 6.0)

[Edith G. <egr...@ya...>]

I am absolutely new to Dev-C++. I have downloaded it and tried to compile 
the mandatory "hello world" application (it worked).

When I use MVC 6.0 and enter a C++ function, for example printf(, at the 
very moment when I enter the opening parethesis, I get a tooltip with the 
arguments the function takes. You all probably know this feature.
And this is the main reason for me to use the studio at all.

I have noticed that C-Dev++ does not support this feature. Do you plan to 
support it in some future version?

TIA,

It's called code completion, and yes, it's supported.

Thx. I have noticed that it is supported with "main(", i.e. when I type the 
opening parenthesis, the argument list pops up. But it does not work with 
"printf(" and it does not work with "strcpy(" either (though both stdio.h 
and string.h are included).
Actually, the most important thing would be that it works with my own 
functions (the ones I know the least) but this does not seem to be the case 
either).

Here is my code:

#include <iostream>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <stdio.h>

using namespace std;

int test(int a,int b)
{
  return a+b;
}

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
  test(3,4);
  printf("Hallo World\n\n");
  system("PAUSE");	
  return 0;
}

When I type "test(", nothing happens.

Can you help me?
TIA,

You have to go to Tools->Editor Options->Class explorer*->options of the 
search engine*-<check the two boxes there (I don't know the diference 
between the local and the global includes, it seems to be includes of 
the project to which the file belongs and global any other header (here 
the stdio.h etc).
It works as you want, but if you are writing a win32 app, as windows.h 
includes a ton of other headers it is too slow, because it has to parse 
all those headers.

Another way is in the Tools->Editor Option->Class Browser->Code Completion
tab.  Press the 'Add file' button by the cache listing and select stdio.h
or string.h from your include folder.  This adds only the variables and
functions from that file and any #included files from the orignal to the
code completion list.  So if you added string.h and typed strcpy( then
"char *,const char*" pop up.
