qtcreator autocompletion for c++ auto keyword

Mr Pang

When I write

std::shared_ptr<QWidget> w = std::make_shared<QWidget>();

And then

w.

function list will popup.
But when I write

auto w = std::make_shared<QWidget>();

Nothing popup when I write

w.

Doesn't qtcreator support auto keyword yet?
My qtcreator version is 4.5.2 under ubuntu 1804

@Mr-Pang

That is a good question.

However, you are using an old version of creator. Therefore, it is also very likely that it has been introduced, but in a latter version of creator. Weare already at version 4.10

Hi @Mr-Pang,

as @koahnig already said, you should update. There has been 5 major releases, and especially the C++ support with the Clang Code Model improved rapidely. (Okay, sometimes you get new problems with Clang, but that's another topic).

OK. But ubuntu 1804 only has 4.5.2.

@Mr-Pang You can install it with the online installer together with a recent Qt version.

That's how I do it on Ubuntu 18.04 ;)
