Dmitry Matveev

Another build of ReSharper Ultimate 2016.3 EAP is out. Build number 7 fixes dozens of issues and brings a set of new and improved features.

ReSharper

New code generation actions for C# and VB.NET

The Generate menu (Alt+Insert in a class) gets 3 new actions:

• Relational members helps you automatically overload relational opeartors (>, <, ≥, ≤) and/or implement IComparable and IComparable<T> using selected fields and properties. Optionally, you can choose from several string comparison algorithms and generate nullability checks.
• Relational comparer creates a comparer class derived from Comparer<T> using selected fields and properties. In addition to choosing a string comparison algorithm and generating nullability checks, you can opt for generating a static property that will expose the comparer class to consumers.
• Dispose pattern helps you generate the canonical implementation of IDisposable with optional nullability checks and destructor for unmanaged members.

All the new generation actions work both in C# and VB.NET. Even better, actions that help you implement IDisposable and IComparable<T> are also available with Alt+Enter on highlighted code:

Usage search goes async

The updated usage search mechanism makes finding references of heavily used symbols easier in two ways:

• The Show in Find Results button becomes available in the pop up as soon as you invoke Usages of Symbol (Shift+Alt+F12). So if you see that the the search for usages is going to take some time, you can just click this button or press + on the numeric keypad and go on working with the code while the search continues in the Find Results window.
  
• The Find Results window now works asynchronously too, meaning that you can work with the resuls tree while usages search is still in progress.

Improved support of C# 7.0 and VB.NET 14

• Deeper analysis of C# local functions enables a lot of code inspections in their context, such as 'possible null reference exception', 'access to disposed closure', and 'access to modified closure'.
• ReSharper now respects the new #Disable Warning/#Enable Warning directives in VB.NET.

Support of UWP RelativePanel control

ReSharper now correctly resolves element name references, detecs binding errors, and provides code completion for the RelativePanel control in Windows 10 Universal apps.

ReSharper C++

• The postfix completion that we announced in EAP 6 now also works after ->.
• New options for C++ formatter: 'Spaces wihin parentheses in cast expressions' and 'Place enumerators on new line'.

dotTrace

In addition to multiple performance improvements, dotTrace also delivers a number of new features in this build.

Call Stack improvements

The Call Stack tool window in dotTrace Timeline gets a whole bunch of enhancements in 2016.3. This window consists of two sections: Top Methods for displaying methods with the highest execution time and Call Tree for digging into the call tree. Each of the sections gets improved in this release:

• We returned the Show system functions option that was helpful when analyzing methods’ own execution time. If you select this option, system calls are shown separately in the Top Methods list and user methods don't include their time. Otherwise, user method’s own time includes the own time of child system calls.
• The Top Methods list now shows not only methods’ own time but total time as well (total time includes the execution time of the entire call subtree).
• Moreover, now you can click on a method’s own or total time in Top Methods or Call Tree. This will apply a filter by a corresponding method (if you clicked on the own time link) or by a method and its subtree (if you clicked on the total time link).
• The Top Methods list now follows your selection in Call Tree. When you select a particular method in Call Tree, Top Methods is rebuild to show you only child calls of the selected method.
