ReSharper (or something like it) for Visual C++ ?

Question

I've seen ReSharper recommended a lot Unfortunately, it doesn't support C++ in Visual Studio. Is there anything out there you can recommend? I already use Visual Assist, and it does its job very well, but it's quite limited in comparison with ReSharper.

Any suggestions?

Answer 1

Refactor Pro is available for Visual C++, this will give you some functionality. Also check out CodeRush, I think it also supports C++.

Answer 2

IMHO - Visual Assist X is best but expensive code completion/refactoring tool for C++. VAX has not so much features as ReSharper for C#, but it makes your C++ programming easier and faster... Just looked on CodeRush - it su%% as most of DevExpress libs & tools.

Answer 3

I tried both Refactor Pro and Visual Assist/X. Neither of them thrilled me in the same way that ReSharper does. I guess that mostly, this is because C++ is such a hard language to write automatic refactorings for.

Answer 4

The solution is to code in Eclipse or NetBeans, but such IDEs are not Visual Studio.

Answer 5

Actually I'd like to have Resharper for Eclipse. Milan do you use the std C++ Editor or is there a plug-in that works more like Resharper. The refactorings seem very limited and even one as simple as Rename doesn't seem to work very well compared to ReSharper.
