Description volkan orhan CLA 2008-09-25 06:43:49 EDT
Function/method prototype and explanations balloon help which takes the explanations from comments in doxygen standard. The balloon help appears when selecting a method from the code-completion list window and after then writing a parenthesis of the function when making a function call to see the parameters of the function. It also should be able to show all the prototypes of the function. The prototypes with explanations can be shown with all the explanations and on overloaded functions, passing one prototype to another can be made by using arrow keys.

This feature should also be used for constants, variables and definitions for their explanations written in doxygen format and initial values for the scope where it is called. If there are some explanations for classes and instances, this feature should also be used for classes and instances. There may be some settings to enable/disable these features.

This would be an extension to the content assist.

This seems related to (or even a duplicate of?) bug 180141.
