I think a feature greatly missed from Dev-C++ is a context-sensitive
help function, that is, when the user press F1 and the mouse is over a
function call from the standard libraries, it should open a help window
on that function, with the parameters it expect and descriptions (same
thing for types, or for #included headers -- should open a help on that
header, with all classes and methods it implements). It improves coding
speed a lot! Often I remember a function name that I must use, but I
forget the parameter order, or some detail about it.
This documentation, at least for the C language, is freely available
from the gnu texinfo (e.g., on the glibc texinfo). I don't know if there
is something similar for C++.
Is there some plugin out there that implements this feature on Dev-C++?
If not, at least, is there some kind of browser for the C and C++
standard libraries, that can be used along Dev-C++ ?
Thanks in advance,
Edson
