VC++ Comments, Documentation and IntelliSense

In C#, I comment methods like this: ``` /// <summary> /// Does absolutely nothing /// </summary> /// <param name="a">First useless parameter</param> /// <param name="b">Second useless parameter</param> /// <returns>zero</returns> public int Foo(int a, int b) { return 0; } ``` Which gives very nice IntelliSense hint window: What, if any, is the equivalent in Visual C++ or (even better) a solution that would work in other IDEs like XCode or Eclipse? Update I found this similar question, but @edtheprogrammerguy's answer has good references so I'll leave the questino here here. Also, SO won't let me delete my question. Update the Second A lot of the C# XML comments (`<summary>`, for instance) work out of the box. It'd be nice if the `///` comment automatically inserted the required `summary`, `param` and `returns` tags, but I imagine that it'd be pretty easy to implement with a new code snippet. Update the third Here's a code snippet that inserts the header. It doesn't scan the method parameter list, but it's a nice start. Save to `Documents\Visual Studio 2012\Code Snippets\Visual C++\My Code Snippets` as anything with a `.snippet` extension, restart VS, and activate by typing `summ` + TAB above a method. ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <CodeSnippets xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/2005/CodeSnippet"> <CodeSnippet Format="1.0.0"> <Header> <SnippetTypes> <SnippetType>Expansion</SnippetType> </SnippetTypes> <Title>SnippetFile1</Title> <Author>dlively</Author> <Description>Insert a summary/param/return header for a method</Description> <HelpUrl> </HelpUrl> <Shortcut>summ</Shortcut> </Header> <Snippet> <Declarations> <Literal Editable="true"> <ID>summary_text</ID> <ToolTip>summary_text</ToolTip> <Default>Insert description of method</Default> <Function> </Function> </Literal> <Literal Editable="true"> <ID>returns_text</ID> <ToolTip>returns_text</ToolTip> <Default>Description of return value</Default> <Function> </Function> </Literal> <Literal Editable="true"> <ID>parameter_name</ID> <ToolTip>parameter_name</ToolTip> <Default>Name of the parameter</Default> <Function> </Function> </Literal> <Literal Editable="true"> <ID>parameter_description</ID> <ToolTip>parameter_description</ToolTip> <Default>Description</Default> <Function> </Function> </Literal> </Declarations> <Code Language="cpp" Kind="method decl"><![CDATA[/// <summary> /// $summary_text$ /// </summary> /// <param name="$parameter_name$">$parameter_description$</param> /// <returns>$returns_text$</returns>]]></Code> </Snippet> </CodeSnippet> </CodeSnippets> ``` Also, see the very nice Code Snippet Designer VS extension which makes creating these a breeze.
