AW: [cdt-dev] C++ Documentation

Hari,

we did something along these lines by contributing a self-written help provider to the org.eclipse.cdt.ui.CHelpProvider extension point. When you implement all the methods of the required org.eclipse.cdt.ui.ICHelpProvider interface you get called for F1-events, hover help and content assist calls. 

The solution is non-standard however because your help provider must go back to some database in order to return the information required by the interface and since there is no standard about how to represent those data there can be no standard implementation for the help provider.

In our case we had documentation for a company-proprietary C API, it was flat, one html file per function and the file name identical to the function name. 

Let me know if you do file an enhancement request, I would be interested to contribute to developping a representation standard which can cover many (if not all) application cases.

Regards,

Norbert

Hi,

Is there some way to access C++ help from within CDT ? maybe being
able to call man on the function ?

Something along the lines of calling MSDN, by pressing F1 from VC++.

thanks,
~Hari
