Outline Tab in the Workspace view

Post by ColinTaylor »

Codelite 9.0.5 / Windows 10 (64-bit)

I've been looking at the Outline Tab in the Workspace view, and have a few questions (apologies if these have been asked before or covered in the documentation)

[1] So far I've seen 3 different styles used for presentation of the items listed in the outline tab

1. Non-italic, non-bold
2. Italic, bold
3. Non-italic, bold

What do these styles mean?

[2] Right click -> Find References...

The scope of this search always seems to be the entire workspace - cab this be limited to (e.g.) active project?


[3] The display of the references in Output View is occasionally odd

E.g. In a header file, code fragment follows ...

Code: Select all

   wxString ToStr (void) const;
private:
   std::vector<wxString> m_Countries;
Click "Find references" on m_Countries gives the following in the Output View

Code: Select all

[ CLocationDataModel::ToStr] std::vector<wxString> m_Countries;
which doesn't really seem to make a lot of sense, as m_Countries has nothing to do with the ToStr method!


[4] Output View (References Tab)

Would be nice to be able to copy contents to clipboard - is this possible?

Any answers most welcome
Colin

Italic=>prototype function (not an implementation, usually you will see these in header files)
Bold=>public access (usually will have a green dot on the icon as well)

This is a bug
