Things in namespaces autocomplete now (I turned it on to check :).
Doesn't work here. Maybe you misunderstood what @b4n https://github.com/b4n was saying? Here's an example:
namespace Foo { void bar() {} }int main() { Foo::<<<<---- no completion suggestions here }
Ok, yeah I misunderstood what he was talking about. I understood it to mean the symbols in the namespace would not be available at all, ie if I had typed `Foo::ba` then "bar" would not be available for completion.
The current way (and likely after this PR too) is particularly broken in that it gives auto-completions for stuff that is in an inaccessible namespace. For example:
namespace Foo { void blah_blah() {} }int main() { blah_bl<<<<---- gives an invalid completion for "blah_blah" here }
Which is the sort of thing that gets it turned off :)
Personally I don't use auto-completion to speed up typing, I use it for exploring symbols I can validly use at that point in the code and to get them spelt correctly, and the current case-sensitive, prefix-matched, kitchen sink auto-completions causes me to use IDE with "smart" auto-completions when I'm writing C++ (ex. QtCreator, VisualStudio).
Though that has its problems too :(
