[cdt-dev] Does Mylyn Context Connector for C/C++ work as intended?

[Jonah Graham <jonah@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi folks,

The Mylyn Context Connector for C/C++ ships as default as part of the EPP package. However I was trying to answer this question on SO [1] to only show public members.

Given a source file like this:

using namespace std;

class HelloSO {

public:

 void public_method(void);

private:

 void private_method(void);

};

int main() {

 HelloSO so;

 so.

If I autocomplete with "Parsing-based Proposals (Task Focused)" enabled at "so." then the method completions I am presented with are "private_method..." and "public_method...". However if I disable "Parsing-based Proposals (Task Focused)" and enable the "normal" one, "Parsing-based Proposals" it does the right thing and only shows "public_method". 

And, if my code is:

void HelloSO::public_method() {

 this->

then I get the expected "private_method..." and "public_method..." completions.

So my question is: Is this how Mylyn is supposed to work? Basically, am I missing something here?

Thanks,

Jonah
