Auto-complete friendly function prototypes

[siavashserver]

Is it possible to mimic same behavior like glcorearb.h with GL_GLEXT_PROTOTYPES defined? Current implementation hides function prototypes and makes auto-complete feature of IDEs almost useless.

Thanks!

Which Version of QtCreator are you using?
I'm on a current git master build(close to version 3.3), and it resolves the macro correctly for me.
If you still experience this with the current stable version, i'd report a bug in QtCreator.

Thanks for the input @BtbN I came to the conclusion that an IDE should be able to expand the macro, rather than bloating the header file more.

I'm using QtCreator 3.2.2. (64bit build + Qt5 on ArchLinux).

I'm on a current git master build(close to version 3.3), and it resolves the macro correctly for me.

Today I tried the git version (v3.3.0.beta1.r156.g3f1deee) sometimes it works as expected for some random OGL functions as expected. In conclusion it's still broken. (tested on both Clang code model and QtCreator's built in)

People also do have same issue with GLEW:

I do agree.

Has anyone figured this one out? I'm now on QtCreator 4.6.0 and I see tooltips like this:

which is not very helpful as it is missing the variable names. If I ask in the Qt forum, how would you describe the problem?

[Dav1dde]

You can try to create a minimal example (without glad):

Something like this:

typedef void (PFNGLVIEWPORTPROC)(int x, int y, int width, int height);
GLAPI PFNGLVIEWPORTPROC glad_glViewport;
#define glViewport glad_glViewport

int main(void) {
    glViewport(0, 0, 0, 0);
    return 0;
}

In this example the completion should also not work (if it does it gets more complicated), then report it as error or ask in the forums. A description could be something along the lines of

function pointers do not show argument names when aliased using a #define macro

PS: Maybe this also happens for the function pointer it self glad_glViewport and is not related to the macro.

@Dav1dde You're right: it also happens without the #define macro
