Browse the Iguana Source Code in a Convenient IDE

For a quick way to browse the source code of Iguana it seems like a good solution is Visual Studio Code from Microsoft. You can get hold it it from here:

https://code.visualstudio.com/

After you install it I would recommend getting the C++ plugin from Microsoft - it seems to do quite a decent job of allowing one to navigate the code base and auto completion for methods on our classes.

A good trick to exclude files appearing in the editor is to use this setting:

Menu bar → Code → Preferences → Settings → User tab → Text Editor → Files → Exclude → Add (glob) Pattern

Good ones to exclude are:

  • *.d - dependency makefiles

  • *.o - object files

  • *.lib - library files.

  • *.a - library files

  • *.obj - windows object files.

For more information see Microsoft Visual Code in my concepts site. Not a lot at the time I wrote this.
