EnvDTE in c#: how do i add parameters to a generated c++ function?

I am trying to generate a function with parameters. adding the function header and body works fine, but when I try to add parameters I get an exception that I haven't been able to solve.



func.AddParameter("num", "int");


I get the exception:




Failed to return new Code Element. Possibly syntax error. New Element Name: num




this is how I generated the function head and body:



VCCodeFunction func = (VCCodeFunction)(((VCFileCodeModel)(file.FileCodeModel)).AddFunction("testfunc", vsCMFunction.vsCMFunctionFunction, "testClass2"));
func.BodyText = "for(int i=0; i < 5; ++i){}n return 1;";


this generates:



testClass2 testfunc()
{
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {}
return 1;
}


as a temporary solution I get around the issue by manually adding the parameters one character left from where the body starts (or within the parenthesis)



var tp = func.GetStartPoint(vsCMPart.vsCMPartBodyWithDelimiter);
var ep = tp.CreateEditPoint();
ep.CharLeft();
ep.Insert("int num");


but I feel this is bad practice.
what am I doing wrong?

  • That is imaginative casting. The documented method has three arguments.

  • i'm sorry I don't know what imaginative casting is, and I couldn't find anything about it on the web. also, I get the same exception if I add the third argument which is 0 by default. can you elaborate?

  • Consider using vsCMTypeRefInt for the 2nd argument.
