Find Declaration leaves declaration hidden

[k1mgy]

Find Declaration is nice.  It finds the declaration, but puts the cursor

void incrementError(char *fmt, ...)
{
<-here

and therefore this text:
  void incrementError(char *fmt, ...)
  {
appears beyond the visible area at the top of the viewport.

Note: my formatting convention is
funcname()
{
not
funcname(){

Is this a bug?

I would wonder because I for myself like exactly this. I believe in most cases you want to change something inside the funtion if you are searching for the declaration, not the declaration itself. So if you start inside the function you save 2x "cursor down"... :lol: I guess it's a philosophic question...

For me it's a confidence question.  Each time I ask "is this the function"?

I see... but how can you be sure if the cursor is just 1 or 2 lines above? It's the same algorithm that would be used, so you have to trust C::B anyway...?!

...dropping out.

It's annoying and yes I can live with it, but am hoping that it can be fixed someday.

Uuuh, uuuh! *snap*, *snap* While discussion around: Did you try the current CVS version? It seems there it's operating the way you want it to operate... at least on my sources...

Hey folks,

just being a purist :

void f(int arg1, , int arg2);

This is the declaration of a function !!!

void f(int arg1, int arg2)
{
  // my superior implementation  ;-)     (ever seen code with a smile displayed in it)
}

This is the definition, so when asking to see the declaration you should see the first flavour.


Anyone tested where the cursor ends up for a declaration like :

void function(
   int arg1,
  int arg2);


Cheers,
Lieven

I installed binaries prepared by Ceniza http://gda.utp.edu.co/~ceniza/CodeBlocks/ and now "find declaration" brings it into focus smack dab in the middle of the viewport, which is just fine.

Killerbot is right (and this nuance slipped by me) the menu is labled "Find Declaration" where it ought to be labeled "Find Definition".  I suppose both might be nice, actually.

Now hoping for that "Return to Origin".

k1mgy, what you're suggesting, generally speaking is a navigation system with back and forward, just like any internet browser.
