All you hardcore C++ devs

Nice. Now, if they had it for vi, which is used by us hardcore C++ guys, that would be even better ;)
Oh barf. I've got a guy in my group who does exactly that. He runs Visual Studio to do compiles and to debug, but he does his editting in some god-forsaken vi-clone-for-Windows. Line editing, in this day and age. Sheesh.

Nice! To bad it has problems with big projects. Have anyone tryed this with big projects with succsess? My problem is that devenv.exe process eats 700Mb of memory and goes to 50 to 90% of CPU everytime i use any of the refactor tools. :sigh:
WholeTomato had that problem for quite a while, but the recent builds got it right.

If it needs to be "re-factored", then it needs to be "re-written". Real programmers always start from scratch.

"...the staggering layers of obscenity in your statement make it a work of art on so many levels." - Jason Jystad, 10/26/2001You misunderstand what refactoring means. There are two senses of refactoring. One means restructuring old code. The other just refers to the ordinary refinement of live code as you're developing it. Refactoring tools are useful in both cases. But in the first sense we are not always in a position to rewrite, despite being real programmers. Plus even good code can be legitimately refactored because as they say "requirements always change."

whiffs of snobbery from the 'hardcore' (binary bores).... ...and maybe stale pizza, Dr. Pepper's and onion ring crisps or whatever they subsist upon. The way things are going, spoon-feed programming tools will be accessible to the masses within our lifetimes and only the best 'binary bores' will survive down at the low levels. The rest might have to get a different career altogether. Tax Law would seem dull and pernickity enough, with syntax you can hide behind. Just a thought. :-) I admit that C++ is bullet fast and an admirable skill, but its abstraction from reality is an obstacle to progress in many projects. I'm glad that (some) end users now stand a chance of designing software and optimising it to be arguably 'good enough' for their planned tasks. Sorry if you would rather Dev remained exclusively geek, but that's so last century. N

Go with VisualAssistX. Much better. Refactor! brings my system to a screetching halt!

I just noticed that DevExpress have released a free refactoring plug-in for VC++ 2005. Refactor!™ for C++[^] There's a video here which gives you an idea http://www.devexpress.com/Products/NET/IDETools/CodeRush/Training.xml[^] I've been using the .NET stuff in Refactor!

Whole Tomato is not free. So for anyone who doesn't like paying for add-ins...

Thanks very much for the info. I don't have much time to read The Lounge these days, but I do try to skim it regularly to pick up gems like this. :cool: I now have Refactor C++ installed both at home and work, but of course I haven't had much time to play with it yet. I'm comparing it to Ref++[^], which works very well, enough so that I coughed up my own money to buy it. I have played enough already, though, to see that Refactor doesn't have Ref++'s most useful function, "Symbol Info" (somewhat like VS's Find All References, but with a more useful UI). On the other hand, Refactor is a lot more visual, and has some cool little refactorings that Ref++ doesn't have. On the other hand, I like Ref++'s "Change Function Signature" better than Refactor's equivalent. And so on, and so on. So, I can already see that it'll be good to have both tools to wield in my fight against monster C++ projects with a mind of their own. :)
