Re: [cdt-dev] code assist and overloaded operator methods

[scalpel4k <scalpel4k@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Nate,

thanks for your answer and I totally agree with you. However, your example 
shows 2 things. First, you're talking about class instances / objects, second 
you were using op as a prefix.

I generally have the problem that code completions can get overcrowded so I 
was wondering whether it would make sense to make the filter a bit more 
intelligent.

Meanwhile I've found CPPVisitor.findEnclosingFunctionOrClass() which could 
give me a hint whether we are in a scope where definitions are possible or 
not. Another check that I would find reasonable is for the prefix op.

Does that sound reasonable? I might try and write some patch.

thx Michi
