CodeWeaver vs. Torsion

#21 @Tom, as always you are present, and patiently answering to my rants, I remove my hat.

Actually I could expand myself on the autocompletition or many other needed capabilities on a IDE, but the truth is that my intention was not to create a feature request discussion, but post a comment concerning background filosophy.

Btw, I mentioned the memory footprint perspective beacuse Ive discussed this topic sometime ago with you and another time with Ross Pawley, and both mentioned that other IDEs were too fat on that sense.

Actually, much of my points are summarized on those discussions, were I fiercely defend Eclipse as the better candidate for Torsion 2 and you and Ross, acuse me of warlock XD

#22 Hi all,
I have tried both environments and Torsion is my favorite. I would only love to see and enhancement on autocompletition.

a. The Autocompletion of functions that Jaimi required would be great.
b. I would like Torsion to recognize the variable types on the fly. Like, if I create:
%a = new Scriptobject();

if I try to invoke autocompletion in the %a variable it just shows nothing.

c. Enhanced compiler for TGEA. I really dont know why exactly the same code is compiled with no errors in Torsion+TGEA but will show errors (real errors) when compiled using Torsion+TGE. I dont know if this is a problem with the engine or with the IDE.

d. Better "Go To Function Definition". In many cases when I click the right button in a function, the menu appears but the "Go To XXXX Definition" option does not appear (even when the autocompletion does work in this case). For example: I have a function:

function WSUnit::getHP() {
return 10;
};

and in other part I write:
$WSATTRIBUTE_HP = 1;
function WSUnit::getAttribute(%this, %attribute) {

if(%attribute == $WSATTRIBUTE_HP)
return %this.getHP();

}

In this code when I write "%this." the autocompletion automatically pops up and I can easilly find the getHP function. But once the function is there, if I right click the function in order to reach the getHP function, the "Go To getHP Definition" option just wont appear in the menu.


I would love to see these corrected.

Luck!
