Please welcome ReSharper C++ 2018.2! While ReSharper C++ 2018.1 introduced two major new features, debug step filters and includes analyzer, ReSharper C++ 2018.2 is focused on improving its understanding of the C++ language. The biggest highlight is its long-awaited support for C++/CLI. In addition, many important features from C++17 and even the upcoming C++20 have been implemented. Code analysi

We are pleased to introduce ReSharper C++ 2018.1, our first major update this year! This release comes with two new important features. First, Debug Step Filters lets you avoid stepping into specific functions during debugging. Second, Includes Analyzer helps investigate the dependencies between header files that affect build times. Read on for more details about these features and other highli

It hasn't been long since the first debugging-assistance features — inline values, searchable DataTips, and breakpoints navigation — appeared in ReSharper, but today we're happy to present yet another cool feature — step filters in C++. Why do you need step filters? Well, the illustration below explains pretty much everything: Some functions never need to be stepped int

ReSharper C++ 2017.3 has been one of our biggest updates yet in terms of both new features and fixed issues.

As a part of ReSharper Ultimate 2016.2, our C++ team is happy to present the ReSharper C++ 2016.2 update. All in all, the new release comes with 200+ fixes and resolves several important performance- and stability-affecting issues. Let's take a tour of the new features in this release. Inline Variable The mainline ReSharper's refactorings continue to make their way into ReSharper C++. With the lat

Apart from the change in version numbers, ReSharper C++ comes with plenty of new features as well as improvements to existing functionality. Here’s what we’ve got in store for you with this release. Boost.Test Support The previous release of ReSharper C++ provided a unit test runner for Google Test — well, this one augments this with Boost.Test support. This includes all the usual refinements

It’s no secret that the Microsoft Visual C++ compiler has lots of non-standard behaviors. What’s even more unfortunate is that those behaviors are subsequently used by different libraries. Ultimately, for a tool vendor there’s no option in not supporting all of those peculiarities. Here are a few that we’ve come across: Eliminated Types In addition to using C++ macros to generate actual executab

Unit testing C++ applications is not exactly easy. Without any embeddable metadata, the actual process of running a unit test has to be defined explicitly in code. Luckily, frameworks such as Google Test provide comprehensive support for this. Let’s take a look. Download and Build Google Test is not header-only: there are libraries to build. So, as a Visual Studio user, you have essentially two
