atom-cpp-template-foldings

Atom plugin that folds C++ template definitions to make them more readable.

Description

C++ template definitions are wordy. This plugin finds all templates in your source file and folds their parameter lists making some simplifications. For example:

Here folding hides typename keywords.

Simplification rules are very simple:

  • type template parameter: typename and class keywords are removed; if parameter has no name, _ symbol is displayed;
  • non type template parameters: not simpified;
  • template template parameters: parameters are simplified recursively; typename and class keywords are removed; if parameter has no name, _ symbol is displayed.

The example below demonstates most of these cases:

You can apply foldings manually or turn on auto folding on file open (from package settings).

Installation

Just install the package from Atom (Edit > Prederences > Install > [type 'atom-cpp-template-foldings']).

Current issues

  • Templates that contain tab charactes are not processed. So, if you use tabs to indent your code, multiline template parameter lists will not be processed.
  • Folding is not performed when Soft Wrap option is enabled in Atom. However, if you also enable Soft Wrap At Preferred Line Length, everything will work.
