Getting rid of writting C++ boilerplate code

[Frank Sonntag]

Dear all,

one annoying "feature" of C++ is that you have to duplicate code, when you 
separate definition from declaration.
I think it would be nice if kdevelop could help here by automatically adding 
code.
Let's say you add a new function declaration to a class. The plug-in would 
then add an empty definition to the definition file.
It would also be nice if later the code would be kept in sync, so that you 
never have to do a change twice.

Does that sound feasible (and sensible)?

If nobody is already working on such a plug-in, I would be interested to do it 
myself and would appreciate any suggestions as to what existing code might 
helpful (e.g. because it keeps track of symbols or the like).

I would also be interested to hear other ideas that might fit in with a more 
versatile C++ "RAD" plug-in.


Cheers,
Frank
