Function argument tooltips for std constructors

[drauthev]

Do you guys know why tooltips for std types' constuctors are not showing up?

For eg, if I type in the following, I get no tooltips, even if I hit Ctrl+Shift+Space:

Code: Select all

std::ifstream ifs();

Code completion works otherwise, like "ifs." brings up ifstream's member functions list, "ifs.read()" brings up argument tooltip for read(), etc.

Its probably because std::ifstream is a typedef

And what's the reason behind that? A typedef should be transparent I think.

If you are a compiler than yes, its transparent.

If you are hand crafted parser, thats another story then...
The answer is simple: the parser does not support this at this time.

PR are welcome to fix this
